Cost: $15 per class or $48 for the series

Understanding death and the process of dying is important both for ourselves and our loved ones.

We are alive, therefore we shall die. Awareness of this process will help us to come to terms with our own and others’ mortality, live a more meaningful and positive life now and most importantly know what to do when we are dying so we can die peacefully and happily without regrets.

In this series, Kelsang Khacho will explain Buddha’s unparalleled insight into death and dying. She will also give us some essential instructions to help those who are dying, which is one of the kindest things we can do, at their greatest moment of need. Finally Kelsang Khacho will introduce a special practice called Transference of Consciousness or “Powa” that can transfer the consciousness of the deceased to a Buddha’s pure land.

Everyone is welcome!
