DEATH -  TEACHINGS FOR A MEANINGFUL LIFE
Sunday 27th December 2009, 10am – 4.45pm
at Mahasiddha Buddhist Centre
Contemplating our own mortality leads to a profoundly worry-free and happy life. By cutting through our worldly concerns the meditation on death quickly eliminates all our ordinary worries and anxieties. On this meditation day-course Gen Sangdak will explain the meditation on death and how it destroys our desirous attachment, thereby leading us to an enjoyable and successful spiritual life.
“When we have practiced many different meditations we shall experience their effects, but it is the meditation on death that leaves the biggest impression on our mind.” Buddha Shakyamuni in ‘Great Beyond Sorrow Sutra’
