Phowa

Guru Rinpoche was referring to the instructions on Phowa, also known as Transference of Consciousness at the Time of Death, a straightforward yet potent means of ejecting one's consciousness from the crown aperture into Dewachen. By bypassing the bardos and avoiding rebirth in the six realms of cyclic existence, practitioners can quickly attain enlightenment. Those with sufficient realization can facilitate this transfer of consciousness for themselves as well as for others. In Vajrayana, Phowa is seen as a direct path to enlightenment.

莲花生大士所提到的无需他修，即达往生和成就的法门，指的是破瓦法。"破瓦"是藏文的音译，意为"迁移"——将心识从顶门迁移到阿弥陀佛的极乐净土，这种迁移的实质即为往生。穿越中阴境，解脱轮回缚，修者速开悟。那些已深刻觉醒的智者，不仅能够迁移自身的心识，还能引导他众迁移心识。在金刚乘中，破瓦法被视为迈向解脱的捷径。
