Join us for an exploration and discussion on the profound and intimate subject of death and dying. Each month, our 90-minute group session will delve deep into a specific chapter of the book, along with associated practices and related topics. During this contemplative journey, we will explore the topics of impermanence, the intermediate state, and the subtle mind related to death and dying from psychological, existential, and Buddhist perspectives.
We will read His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s excellent and concise commentary on the seventeen-stanza poem by the First Panchen Lama. This book will provide helpful reflections and insight into the topic of death and dying, including how to approach dying and the preparation for death with a description of the appearances and deeper subtle minds that manifest during the process of dying. Through active contemplation, we can live meaningfully and fully able to appreciate and enjoy our precious time while alive!
