About this event
“When many different animals have been in a field and have left their footprints we see that it is the elephant who leaves the deepest footprint. In a similar way, when we have practiced many different meditations we will experience their effects; but it is the meditation on death that makes the deepest impression on our mind”.
~Joyful Path of Good Fortune
Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
While it might sound scary to meditate on death according to Buddhist wisdom it is one of the most freeing and liberating contemplations we can engage in. We may not be happy to hear about our death, but meditating on our death and developing a deep mortality awareness will bring so much meaning to our life.
Join us for this special Halloween Evening Meditation followed by dessert.
