Death and Dying: A Buddhist Perspective Saturday, October 9 from 10am to 12:30pm in Portland with Gen Khedrub

In our society, death and dying are often perceived as inherently negative topics of conversation and are often shrouded in confusion, grief and suffering. However, Buddhism offers a completely different perspective based on a profound understanding of the process of dying, the meaning of death, and what we can do to protect ourself and help others during such a critical passage in our life.

During this day course, Gen Khedrub will help us come to terms with our own mortality and transform death into a liberating experience.

Location: Portland New Church, 302 Stevens Ave, Portland, ME 04103.

This workshop will include guided meditations, teachings and time for Q&A. Everyone is welcome.

“The Resident Teachers of our Dharma centers are always with you; they care for you and try to guide you to a meaningful life.”

~ Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche
