In Kadampa Buddhism, the practice of transference of consciousness is known as 'powa,' which literally means "transference". Join us each month to explore this ancient practice which involves guiding the consciousness of the recently deceased to the Pure Land of Buddha, a world free from the painful rebirths of samsara.
This class follows the monthly Prayers for the Recently Deceased Practice. This class will be based on the book Living Meaningfully, Dying Joyfully by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, which is available in our bookstore, or here in e-book, paperback, and audiobook formats.

Now is a good time to explore the meaning of Highest Yoga Tantra empowerments, so that we can decide whether we’d like to receive these empowerments when they are offered next year at the 2026 International Summer Festival at Manjushri KMC in England.
In this workshop, Gen Chogyop will explain the significance of Highest Yoga Tantra: what is it exactly, what are the two stages (generation stage and completion stage), how do we practice.
​
We'll explore what a joyful and creative practice Tantra is, the power it adds to our spiritual life, and how it integrates all that we learn at our Kadampa Centers and opens us up to an extraordinarily meaningful and blissful life. If this sounds intriguing to you, we encourage you to join us for this workshop!
​
Those who already have their HYT empowerment are encouraged to join in on the conversation too!

We are alive therefore we will die.
Join us for an inspiring evening where we will receive an unparalleled Buddhist insight into death and dying. This will help us to develop a healthy awareness of our own mortality in a way that will totally enrich and transform our life.
When we gain insight into the continuum of our mind — and that death is the permanent separation of the mind and the body, not the death of consciousness — this realization expands our horizons and is very joyful and liberating.
“There is nothing more precious than our human life. Having been born as a human being we have immense freedom to accomplish almost anything we want. With so much freedom, we need to ask ourself what is the most meaningful way to use our life. What will make us truly happy? What will benefit others most? And when this life is over, what will help us then?” Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, ‘Living Meaningfully, Dying Joyfully’
Following the talk we can enjoy light refreshments and socialize.
7 - 8:30 pm - Meditation and Talk
8:30 - 9 pm - Social Time with Gen Lingpur and Menlha sangha
