About This Understanding Death Workshop
We are alive therefore we will die. This is the simplest, most obvious truth. But what is death, and what happens when we die? Contemplating our own mortality leads to a profoundly worry-free and happy life, and inspires us to prepare for this inevitable event so we can face it without fear.
In this workshop Gen Kelsang Tsalden will explain the powerful Buddhist meditation on death. We will learn how understanding death enables us to live lightly and is one of the kindest and wisest things we can do for both ourself and others.
What will I learn at this workshop?
- What happens when we die
- How to think differently about death
- How the simple truth of our impermanence can make us live more lightly
