Die Happy: Liberation through Death, Shambhala and the Kalachakra Phowa

This event will be in English with live Romanian translation, other languages will be available on Zoom only.

Dying is an essential part of life; something that we all will experience. Whether you or a loved one are facing death today or decades from now, it’s important to understand what it means to live and die well. In this day long teaching, Khentrul Rinpoche will take us on a journey through what is known as the ‘bardo of death’, or transitionary period, between one life and the next, and the tremendous opportunity it offer if we view them as an opportunity for spiritual transformation.Khentrul Rinpoche will give teachings and transmission on the Kalachakra Phowa, a special practice to direct our transition to enlightenment at death.If we know how to make the most of this time, we can identify ways to reach liberation to the Sublime tantric realm of Shambhala to realize enlightenment in our next life. If we are exceptional practicers we can realize enlightenment through death. In order to do this we need to properly understand how to prepare and what to do at the right times. If you or a loved one is preparing for death this is a good course to find out what you can do to help them at the moment of death.
