Death and Dying: a Buddhist Perspective
Half Day Course
@ Burnley KBC
Saturday 21 November, 2pm – 5pm
In-person
None of us can remain in this life forever and we all must eventually pass from this life. Take time to explore the ideas of death and rebirth and discover how understanding our own mortality can be a powerful motivator for creating meaningful change and inner transformation.
Preparing for death is one of the kindest and wisest things we can do for both ourself and others. Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
Death is one of the great mysteries of life. Few people understand what happens when we die, and how important it is for us to prepare for this inevitable event that we shall all experience. Buddha explains with great clarity what happens during the death process, and by understanding this, how we can use this knowledge to make our life truly meaningful.
Our workshops are a perfect way to both relax and develop internally. They are ideal for those who are new to meditation and those who would like to improve.
Refreshments are available in our World Peace Café during the course.
The cost of the Meditation Half Day Course is £16 (Monthly Members £5, FP Monthly Members £0).
Our monthly membership programme offers access to all our weekly classes as well as discounts on courses for only £20 per month – Learn more.
