序

IN THE SUMMER of 2018, Orgyen Tobgyal Rinpoche was invited
to visit the Sukhavati spiritual care centre in Berlin, Germany, to
present teachings on phowa (transference) and other practices from
the Tibetan Buddhist tradition aimed at helping people who are
dying or recently deceased.

2018年夏，乌金督佳仁波切受邀前往德国柏林的极乐灵性照护中心，讲授藏传佛教传统中的颇瓦法（迁识），以及其他旨在帮助临终者或新近亡者的修法。

During the first three days of his visit, Orgyen Tobgyal Rinpoche
presented extensive teachings on the practice of phowa according
to the Longchen Nyingtik tradition, drawing upon the root terma
text itself as well as supporting texts by Jigme Lingpa and Jamyang
Khyentse Wangpo. With his consummate knowledge of the Buddhist
Vajrayana teachings, Orgyen Tobgyal Rinpoche gave detailed, step-
by-step guidance on the practice of phowa, resulting in a complete
and through instruction for aspiring practitioners.

访问的头三天，乌金督佳仁波切依据根本伏藏文本本身，以及吉美林巴和蒋扬钦哲旺波的相关著作，广泛讲授了龙钦心髓传统的颇瓦法修持。凭借对佛教金刚乘教法的圆熟通达，乌金督佳仁波切对颇瓦法给予了细致、循序渐进的指导，为有志修行者提供了完整而透彻的教授。

These teachings were lent added poignancy considering where
they took place and the audience who attended. Sukhavati is a
pioneering project to provide far reaching spiritual support, based
on the Buddhist teachings, to people who are seriously ill or dying.
Many of the audience were drawn from spiritual care backgrounds
and end-of-life care, and therefore these teachings were of far more
than mere academic interest.

考虑到教言的讲授地点及听众，这些教授尤为动人。极乐中心是一项开创性的计划，旨在依佛教教法，为重病者或临终者提供广泛深入的灵性支持。许多听众具有灵性照护或临终关怀的背景，因此，这些教言的意义远不只是学术兴趣。

It is hoped that the publication of this manual will support these
and other practitioners in their practice of phowa, a practice that can
be of such inestimable benefit to people who have just died.

希望这本手册的出版，能帮助这些行者以及其他行者修持颇瓦法；这项修法能为刚刚去世的人带来不可估量的利益。

The manual is dedicated towards each and every being finding
true liberation and ultimate peace in the glorious realm of Sukhāvatī.

谨以此手册回向，愿每一位众生都在庄严的极乐净土中，获得真正的解脱与究竟安宁。
