Last year my wife and I attended a weekend seminar on the Tibetan Buddhist practice called phowa. It is one of many foundational meditation practices that is central to Tibetan Buddhism. It was taught by a master of this practice, a Tibetan lama who spent decades practicing and teaching this practice in Tibet and India. It is often referred to as the practice of conscious dying and the transference of consciousness at the time of death. In traditional Tibetan Buddhism, a master is called upon to be present at the time of one’s passing to assist the dying person to transfer their consciousness through the top of their head directly into a so-called “Buddha field” of one’s choice. By so doing, one bypasses some of the typical experiences that are said to occur after death.

Nearly 15 million unpaid caregivers are helping someone with Alzheimer’s or some other form of dementia. There are a lot, I mean a lot of families that are now being affected and more will be in the future. Every 69 seconds someone gets diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. About eight years ago my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and up until last August, my father did his best to take care of her but it eventually became too much for him–he just turned 90.Read More »Sir Terry Pratchett and Alzheimer’s Disease
