Death_2

A Buddhist Perspective on Life and Death

Friday 21 March 2025

7:30pm to 8:45pm

At Heruka Kadampa Meditation Centre, Golders Green

With Kadam John McBretney

Beyond Birth and Death: Exploring the Continuum of Existence"

Buddha’s teachings offer profound insight into the meaning and process of death and dying, helping us to develop an awareness of our own mortality in a way that enriches and transforms our life. Though gaining familiarity with certain special ways of thinking, we can live a meaningful life and meet our death joyfully as we transition into our next life with grace, clarity, faith and fearlessness.

Kadam John will explain and guide meditations that bring meaning to life, enable us to accept the certainty of death and move into the future with peace and positivity.

Subjects on the evening will include:

  • What is the meaning of life?
  • What can we do to help those who are dying?
  • Coming to terms with impermanence and death
  • A Buddhist explanation of the process of dying
