SUMMARY:Powa Prayers
DESCRIPTION:Join us In Person or On Zoom. \nThrough practicing transference of consciousness — known as ‘powa’ — with faith\, compassion\, and concentration we can transfer the consciousness of those recently deceased to a higher rebirth or to the Pure Land of a Buddha. The Powa Ceremony can be done either by a group of practitioners or individually on behalf of one or more deceased persons\, or countless deceased beings. By engaging in this practice we also create a great collection of virtue\, which will also lead us into the pathway to a Buddha’s Pure Land. \nAll chanted prayers are free. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/88127951454 \nMeeting ID: 881 2795 1454
