According to the Tibetan calendar, the 28th of November was Amitabha-Day, on a full moon. According to buddhist teachings, positive impressions of any kind and especially through meditation practice are multiplied considerably on a day like this.

On this occasion, many members of the EC sangha joined the “Phowa” meditation on the red Buddha of Limitless Light – Amitabha, just like in other Buddhist centers around the world. More about the meditation practice also referred to as “Conscious dying” can be read here.

For those interested in learning this practice, Lama Ole Nydahl is going to give a 5-day Phowa course at the beginning of next year’s Summer Course at the Europe Center during the first week of August. Please ask for explanations of the prepatory practice for the course at the EC or another one of the Diamond Way Buddhist Centers near you.
