MessageGreetings,
Welcome to the site. I mistook you for a different person who has taken to making antagonistic statements under different names without backing them up with evidence.
But on the subject of the Phowa practice, I was told by senior instructors that this was incorporated into the Healing Tao system later, and was not originally part of the transmission of One Cloud. Did Mantak Chia say that this was transmitted to him directly by One Cloud? I would be very interested to know.
I have not researched this subject, but would suppose that since it mainly is found and referenced to by Tibetan Buddhists today, and not referred to in the Daoist alchemical texts, that it belongs to the Tibetan tradition.
I am interested in the transformation of consciousness as a preparation for death, and have experienced transformation of inner states during meditation inside the body. Does the Phowa practice allow you to shift energetic states of consciousness by ejecting the pearl?
