The Essential Heart of Phowa: The Method of Freely Transferring Consciousness, also known as the Phowa Practice, was compiled and transmitted by the important Tibetan translator Dawasangduying (Moon Virtue) and belongs to the revealed treasure teachings of the Nyingma school. This Dharma method originates from Indian Tantric Buddhism, with its history traceable to the period when Guru Padmasambhava entered Tibet in the 8th century AD. Its core practice involves visualization and working with the subtle energies, channels, and essences to achieve the transference of consciousness at the time of death for rebirth in a pure land. Its supreme quality lies in enabling practitioners to break through the intermediate state and freely transfer their consciousness, praised as a swift path to enlightenment in this very life. Within Tibetan Buddhism, it is a profound secret teaching, serving both as a core practice scripture and an important text for studying the heart essence of Tibetan Tantra and the science of life and death.
