ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
Tuesday, March 8, 2022 | 7:00 – 9:00 pm ET
Buddhist thanatology, as embodied in Bardo Yoga, is one of the great gifts to humanity. Bardo (“gap, transitional process”) yoga shows us how to practice death, and “Die before you die.” In the Buddhist view, death is a journey of the heart-mind, and that journey can be taken now. If we relate to death properly, it becomes a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
This presentation will offer contemplations and brief meditations that help us prepare, and give us the confidence to also help others as they die. The Buddha referred to reflections on death as the “Supreme Contemplation” that ironically brings us more fully to life. Learn about the “bardo principle,” the small deaths that occur daily, and how we can use them to prepare for the big death. The eight stages of the dissolution process will be presented, marked by outer, inner, and secret signs that help caregivers understand where people are in the dying process. When brought to fruition, bardo yoga leads to the death of death.
This workshop can be taken individually or as part of the Integrative Thanatology Certificate Training | An Art of Dying Education Program.
