This does not appear in the book that I noticed. It is most likely a misinterpretation of the 8th cent. prophecy of Padmasambhava mentioned at the end of the book that 'when oxen run on wheels (cars/trains) and the iron bird flies everywhere (planes), then the Dharma (Vajrayana/Dzogchen) will go to the land of the white men (actually 'land of the red-face people', i.e. the Americas). In any event, if you want to learn Phowa, Lama Ole is your man. He is an authentic lama of the Karmapa line with great success in transmitting this practice. ------------------------ Yahoo!
