The more attached we are to our loved ones, our possessions, and our sense of identity, the more we suffer. Realizing this truth frees us to find joy in each simple moment of life, and peace at the moment of death. According to the Tibetan spiritual traditions, living and dying are part of a sacred continuum. Death need not be considered a failure, negative, or even a loss; rather, it is a transition toward a new beginning.
This self-paced online course is open to everyone, from the young and healthy to those who are facing death, as well as their caregivers. It is based on a series of live webcasts offered by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche through Ligmincha International in 2016-17. Here, you will find all the recordings and related support materials in a well organized course.
