Tibetan View of Life
A Buddhist Teaching with Lama Geshe YongDong on Saturday, September 22.
The Book of Natural Liberation Through Hearing suggests five main types of preparation for death while we are still living.
The main preparation is the development of a clear picture of what to expect!
You often hear that someone lived a good life, but rarely hear that a person had a good death.
The book The Tibetan Book of Living & Dying, was written not only as a means of help & guidance for the dying, but also as a guide for living, with valuable advice on how to live without the fear of death and the unknown.
If we fear death we cannot really choose life. We are, instead, trying to figure out how to avoid death, rather than focusing on how to live passionately!
Geshe YongDong's qualities of wisdom, compassion, and humour will help students to recognize and eliminate some of the fear and myths that surround death.
Students will learn methods of preparation that teach how to take control over our lives & fears. How we can give unconditional love, acceptance & joy to others, to live peacefully & fully, & to end our lives without fear or regret when the time comes.
