In-person: Liberating Perspectives on Death & Dying with Ven Canda

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Perhaps you are caring for someone who is dying, have lost a loved one or have received a diagnosis you are grappling with? Or perhaps you are healthy and imagine that death is far away – and that is the way you’d like it to stay!

The Buddha recommended meditation on death for everyone, as a way of bringing a sense of immediacy to practice. Although it may initially sound unappealing, by gently turning toward the universal reality of death, we can learn tools for living a life full of gratitude and love.

This retreat will invite us to contemplate and discuss the universal experience of death and dying, taking inspiration from Buddhist teachings as well as modern scientific research on near-death experiences, to help us find greater acceptance, wisdom and peace.

The retreat is suitable for everyone and will include Dhamma reflections, guided meditations and an opportunity for sharing questions and responses.
