Inspiring a revolution in your heart and mind A transformative course
based on the Tibetan Book of Living and Dying by Sogyal Rinpoche Share
Tweet The publication of The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying opened a
window into the living Buddhist tradition of Tibet, revealing to a
reading public of millions the practical wisdom it has to offer the
modern world. Its wise and compassionate approach to death and dying
led to the book being adopted by colleges, groups and institutions,
both medical and religious. 25 years later, The Tibetan Book of Living
and Dying continues to offer a wealth of advice that people of any
religion or of none can enrich their lives with. This short course
takes participants on an experiential journey through the book, giving
a taste of the major themes and their implications. It encourages you
to reflect on them, to see what makes sense to you and what you would
want to bring into your life. You also get to explore simple practices
of meditation, compassion, and contemplation. This 9-week course
covers, amongst other things: how an acceptance of impermanence can
help us understand death and change our attitude towards life how
meditation can bring us not only greater mindfulness of our actions
but also a profound awareness of how things are that can transform our
perception, increase our confidence and fully connect us to the world
around us that mind is much more than just thoughts and emotions how
understanding the interdependency of all things and the principle of
karma (that every action has an effect) gives us a logical basis for
ethical behaviour and personal responsibility why selflessness and
compassionate behaviour benefits not only others but also ourselves
how to support someone through the process of facing their own death
