”Sjukdom, lidande och död är en reell del av verkligheten i den mänskliga existensen. Det skulle vara dumt att låtsas att vi inte är sjuka när vi är det, att förneka möjligheten att kunna bli frisk, eller låtsas att vi aldrig kommer att dö. ” – Dalai Lama

De flesta av oss lever i förnekelse av döden. Men det är oundvikligt att vi någon gång i livet kommer att uppleva förlusten av nära och kära. Det är också oundvikligt att själv uppleva döden en dag. Den buddhistiska läran erbjuder praktiska riktlinjer för hur man odlar en medvetenhet om förgänglighet och döden, som hjälper oss stärka vår andliga utövning. Genom att acceptera döden som en del av vår naturliga existens kan vi bättre hantera sorgen när vi förlorar en kär person, likaså kan det hjälpa oss att förbereda oss inför vår egen död.

I denna endagskurs introducerar Venerable Michael några meditationstekniker kring medvetenhet om döden och den faktiska dödsprocessen så som den beskrivs i de buddhistiska texterna. Det kommer även att finnas tid för frågor och diskussioner.

——————ENGLISH——————

“Illness, suffering and death are part of the reality of human existence. It would be foolish to pretend that we are not sick when we are, or that we will never die, as it would be to deny the possibility of ever getting well.” – The Dalai Lama

Most of us live in denial of death. However, it is inevitable that we experience the loss of a loved one at some stage in our lives. It is also inevitable that we ourselves experience death someday. The Buddhist teachings offer practical guidelines on how to cultivate an awareness of impermanence and death, which helps to strengthen our spiritual practice. By accepting death as part of our natural existence, we can better deal with grief when we lose a dear one, likewise it can help prepare for one’s own death.

In this one day course Venerable Michael will introduce some meditation techniques on the awareness of death and the actual death process as explained in the Buddhist texts. There will also be time for questions and discussion.
