Description:
Death is not exactly a typical dinner-table topic in modern, dominant Western culture. We all know that we die, yet we tend to ignore it, putting our collective heads in the sand or fearfully running away from any discussion. And yet the Buddha recommended that we all reflect on this truth, as one of the Five Daily Remembrances. Instead of a conflictual relationship with reality, we can harness the power of this reflection to stay aligned with our deepest values, to live and love more fully, and to be present for this miraculous show called our life. Embracing our life’s impermanence also allows for a deep letting go, freedom, and fearlessness in preparation for our actual moment of death. Join us for a day of practice and exploration through dharma talks, guided meditation, and dialogue to turn toward and befriend this powerful contemplation.
Continuing Education (CE) credit available. Teachings are appropriate for health care professionals as well as the general public.
