Transference : Enlightenment Without Meditation
from The Heart-Essence of the Vast Expanse
revealed by Rigdzin Jigme Lingpa
arranged by the Fourth Dodrupchen Rinpoche
As it is said in Amitabha Sutra by the Bouddha:
"Every sentient being who repeatedly brings to mind the appearance of this thus-gone one, cultivates countless roots of virtue, fully dedicates them towards the attainment of enlightenment by giving rise to bodhicitta, and prays to be reborn in that world, will see the thus-gone one, the foe-destroyer, the completely enlightened."
As Orgyen Tobgyal Rinpoche said :
"There’s a lot that can be said about the Longchen Nyingtik cycle of teachings but in short they contain practices without elaboration (the completion phase practices of trekchö and tögal) as well as numerous types of generation phase practice that need to be accomplished. It is clearly stated that by practicing phowa, you can reach the state of enlightenment within just seven days. And should you be unable to practice phowa yourself, an accomplished lama can practice it for you and succeed in transferring your consciousness to a pure land. This is why phowa is described as a practice that brings ‘enlightenment without meditation’."
