Death and Rebirth
Discovering Buddhism module 5
Margo van Greta
From Tuesdy 7 January 2025, 7.30-9pm, 6 evenings, ONLINE
Explore the process of death and rebirth and its impact on how we live our lives. Learn to achieve your purpose in life, resolve conflicts, and develop the skills to help yourself and others at death.
Understand life, death and rebirth and the nature of mind. Learn to use fear of death to overcome fear of death. Discover how to use the certainty and imminence of death to enhance your quality of life. Practice analytical and placement meditation. See how the entire path to enlightenment hangs together as a cohesive whole and where the teachings on impermanence and death, the first and last that the Buddha gave, fit in.
We start our sessions with a meditation. This is followed by teachings where we also use video, group discussion, plus meditations to deepen our connection with the material.
You will receive online reading material and audio material for further study.
It is recommended to practice the meditations at home.
Death and Rebirth is part of a 14 module course Discovering Buddhism
Over 2500 years ago, Shakyamuni Buddha gained direct insight into the nature of reality, perfected the qualities of wisdom, compassion, and power, and revealed the path to his disciples. In the 11th Century, Atisha brought these teachings to Tibet in the form of the lam-rim – the stages on the path to enlightenment. The lam-rim tradition found its pinnacle in the teachings of the great Tibetan saint Lama Tsongkhapa in the 14th Century, and these teachings continued to pass from teacher to student up to this present day.
When Lama Thubten Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche transmitted these teachings to their disciples, they imparted a deeply experiential tradition of study and practice, leading thousands of seekers to discover the truth of what the Buddha taught. This tradition is the core of Discovering Buddhism.
All of the FPMT study programs and especially Discovering Buddhism are presented within a context that reflects FPMT “Wisdom Culture.“
Discovering Buddhism is a two-year, fourteen-module series that gives the student a solid foundation in the teachings and practice of Tibetan Mahayana Buddhism.
