Most of our fear arises from fear of death. An essential part of spiritual practice is to face the fact of our inevitable death and to prepare for it. To do this can be a gift to our family and friends. This class will include meditations on death, writing advance directives, learning about the biological facts of death and Buddhist funerals, and also a few compelling videos. |
