This session draws on Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche’s Living Is Dying, and explores death and the bardo from different perspectives within Buddhist teaching.
It reflects on:
— Western and Buddhist understandings of death
— The continuity of life and death, and the dynamic nature of the bardo
— How practice and aspiration can offer support and connection in times of transition
Ample time will be reserved for questions and open discussion.
In addition, a special offering from an international art team based in Germany will be presented to Arne Schelling during the event.
This event is organised by Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche’s Organisation “Royal Jade Phoenix and Golden Dragon Restaurant”
