Death & Dying: A Different Perspective

Death & Dying: A Different Perspective
With Matthew Stein resident teacher at Odiyana Buddhist Center
Date and time: Saturday, April 12th, 1:00 - 4:00 pm
In our society, death and dying are often perceived as inherently negative topics of conversation and are often shrouded in confusion and grief. However, different perspectives exist on our mortality based on a profound understanding of the process of dying, the meaning of death, and what we can do to protect ourselves and help others when the time of death nears.
During this meditation workshop resident teacher Matthew Stein will share essential contemplations to help us come to terms with our own mortality and transform death into a liberating experience.
This workshop will include guided meditations, teachings and time for Q&A.
Everyone is welcome.
