Death and Dying: A Tibetan Buddhist Perspective ‘08

We are pleased to announce another offering of our very popular Karuna Life Education course, which takes a look with a Tibetan Buddhist perspective at that eternal question, “what happens when we die”?

In a gentle and compassionate way, explore death and dying from the viewpoint of Tibetan Buddhism. By understanding the cycle of life and death, we can also view loss and grief in a new way; developing both wisdom and loving kindness for ourselves and others. The day will be relaxed and informal, encouraging questions and discussions, facilitated by Buddhist nun Tenzin Chodron.

The session will run from 10am to 4pm, Sunday 20th April. Bookings are essential as places are limited. Please contact us to book your place.
