    Sedona AZ (April 3, 2015) – Kunzang Palyul Chöling (KPC) of Sedona is pleased to announce a cycle of extremely rare teachings by His Eminence Dragmar Tulku Rinpoche, a Tibetan Buddhist master. By invitation of Jetsunma Ahkön Lhamo, director of KPC, Rinpoche will be conferring an Amitabha Buddha Empowerment with subsequent teachings on the profound practice of Phowa, or the spiritual technology of transferring one’s
consciousness at the time of
 death. This powerful, traditional practice has its origins centuries ago in Tibet. Anyone may attend and you do not have to be a Buddhist practitioner to receive the benefits from Phowa. Signs of accomplishment are frequently reported and experienced by participants.

    The Amitabha Buddha Empowerment takes place Friday, April 17 at 7:00 pm. The Empowerment is a prerequisite for receiving the Phowa teachings and engaging in the practice sessions which start on Saturday, April 18th and conclude Wednesday evening, April 23rd. All activities will take place at the Sedona Teen Center, 525-B Posse Ground Road, Sedona.

    There are 3 practice sessions daily with breaks (see schedule below). Individuals can attend the Amitabha Buddha Empowerment without attending the Phowa teachings and practice sessions.

    According to Buddhist teachings the time of death provides a rare opportunity to achieve true enlightenment. The Tibetan Buddhist practice of Phowa is a method of gaining the ability to consciously control and direct one’s consciousness through the death experience. By successfully practicing Phowa, and merging with enlightened awareness, we transcend the karmic destiny we would otherwise face in the afterlife and bypass rebirth in cyclic existence.

      I am interested in attending. Who is teaching, I first saw a poster and I thought Jetsuma was the teacher? What time do the teachings end on Wednesday? I have another commitment for the evening and will likely have to miss if there is a 6-8 session on the last day.
      Thank you and thank you for offering this teaching in Sedona.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
