  • Dupseng Rinpoche’s First Visit to Montenegro – Successfully Completed!

    We are delighted to share that the first visit of Venerable Dupseng Rinpoche to Montenegro was a great success.

    Highlights of the program:

    • Visit to the Kagyu Montenegro group in Budva and blessing of our Center
    • Transmission and practice of Phowa
    • Amitabha Empowerment
    • Vajrasattva Empowerment
    • Tse Thar (Life Release ritual)

    Friends from ten different countries participated in the Phowa course and the empowerments.

    At the end of the visit, Rinpoche kindly transmitted to us a special Guru Yoga practice, which we will now use as our regular group meditation.

    We are deeply grateful to Rinpoche for this precious visit, his teachings, blessings, and warm presence. May everything good that appeared during these days bring benefit to all beings and growth of the Dharma in Montenegro.

    About Phowa

    Phowa is one of the most direct Vajrayana practices for achieving a conscious transition at the moment of death. Known as “the practice of conscious transfer,” it offers a swift path to liberation from samsara. This sacred method brings together the essence of earlier Dharma teachings, all aimed at freeing beings from suffering.

    With skillful practice, at the final moment of this life, consciousness is transferred through the Brahma aperture directly to Dewachen — the Pure Land of Buddha Amitabha. There, practitioners enjoy perfect conditions for continued Dharma training and rapid progress toward full awakening.

    Among its many practical benefits, the Phowa practice helps dissolve the fear of death and many other fears, harmonizes the energy flows in the subtle body, and brings deep inner confidence.
