Another day, another special premiere in our new building. On this week’s beautiful and clear full moon night and Buddha Amitabha day, we came together to practice the meditation of conscious dying.

Through this meditation one gets the opportunity to work intensively with the process of one’s own death. Buddhist teachings contain very precise descriptions on the process of dying, death and the stages between death and rebirth. Many teachers and meditation masters have also had a lot of experience with the process of dying. In this meditation practice, which Lama Ole Nydahl has taught to more than 80,000 people, one learns to transfer consciousness at the moment of death into a state of highest bliss. Those that have learnt the Phowa practice also learn how to actively help others at the moment of death.

The full moon also illuminated the EC’s old and new buildings beautifully this night – we hope you enjoy the impressions!
