How to Face Death Without Fear
Three Sessions
| Death is a natural event, but we cannot stand the thought of death. As Lama Zopa Rinpoche says in How to Face Death Without Fear, "Death itself is not what causes fear. It is simply the consciousness leaving the body; one labels death on that event. What causes the worry and fear, what makes death so difficult is attachment, desire, clinging: to this life, to the body, possessions, family, friends and so forth.” Living our lives in the recognition of impermanence, readies us for this event. Then, knowing that we’re in charge, not a creator or anyone else, and understanding well the workings of the natural law of karma, we will lead a meaningful life and thus be prepared for death and our next rebirth. And then we can help others. As Rinpoche says, “Helping our loved ones at the time of death is the best service we can offer them, our greatest gift, Why? Because death is the most important time of life: it’s at death that the next rebirth is determined.” Event is free of charge, based on the generosity of donations and sponsors.
