Heart Advice for Death and Dying
Sutra Online Event
1 | Beginner

When on top of this we lead a busy life, we may not give much thought to death until we actually encounter it face to face. We then find ourselves overwhelmed and traumatized by the diagnosis of a terminal illness or the loss of someone close to us. We may also fear that thinking about death will make it happen or else take the joy out of living. But, in reality, when we actively think about death and prepare for it, we find more peace, happiness, and fulfillment in our lives and our fear of death disappears. This course sets out Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s essential advice for the time of death and for making life meaningful. It also provides practical ways for thinking about and preparing for one’s own and others’ deaths. Students will gain confidence in facing their own death and will also be able to provide help and support to others before, during, and even after their death. This course is suitable for anyone, Buddhist or not, who is interested in learning more about death and dying from a Buddhist perspective. It consists of […]
