In Vajrayana Buddhism, the practice of Phowa is considered to be the most effective way to facilitate the transition from this stage of existence to the next. The Phowa is done by a practitioner at the time of his or her death. It can alsoe be performed for another person who is dying or who has already passed on. During the Phowa, the practitioner projects his or her consciousness, together with the awareness of the person who is the object of the practice, into the heart of Buddha Amitabha visualized in the space above. The Phowa is a profoundly compassionate act, as it dissolves the suffering of the dying or deceased and allows them to experience the peace and joy inherent in the clear awareness that is their essence.
