Death and the Dharma - Surviving Death

From London Buddhist Centre on Mon, 1 Aug, 2022 - 00:00
Only one thing in life is certain - that it will come to an end. Depending on how we relate to it, this most basic fact of existence could be deeply unsettling or completely liberating. In this five-part seminar, Jnanavaca brings his extensive experience and his personal reflections to bear on life’s biggest mystery. In this first part, Jnanavaca reflects on his personal experience of bereavement, the effect it has had on his life, and how to make sense of it in the light of the Dharma.
