A little history. "These instructions on the profound path of Phowa specify a practice like no other practices. Teachings such as the generations and completion stages of tantra require exertion over long periods of time. This Phowa practice, however, requires as little as one week of correct practice to manifest definitive signs of attainment. For this reason The Lord Buddha calls it the "Dharma that bestows Buddhahood without meditation."
