Extracts from Sangha.live website
Module 1
Living and dying reveals a perception as much as a bodily condition.
Module 2
When we lose a loved one, do we feel sorry the life of this person has come to an end? Do we feel sorry for ourselves that we no longer can share experiences with this person? Or is our sorrow a combination of both?
Module 3
We believe that death relates largely to our ‘self,’ not to anything else. This is a misplaced view triggering fear
Module 4
When dying and death have become subordinate to the neediness of the self, of ‘I’ and ‘my,’ it robs awareness of the opportunity to realize liberation from dependency on birth, dying and death.
