We all encounter illness in our lives, whether directly or indirectly. Often we ask ourselves: Why is this happening to me? What meaning can be found in this experience? And how can this crisis be navigated in a way that fosters personal growth and spiritual development?
Arne will deliver a short introductory talk on Buddhist perspectives on serious health crises, exploring how traditional teachings understand illness not as meaningless suffering but as an opportunity for transformation, deepening compassion, and spiritual awakening.
For the main part of the event there will be an open Q&A session where participants can ask questions.
