Module 1: The Heart of the Tibetan Book of Living and Dying

This module will give you a taste of the main themes of the Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, including meditation, finding inner peace and contentment and the true nature of our own mind.

“In this book, I endeavoured to share something of the wisdom of the tradition I grew up in. I sought to show the practical nature of its ancient teachings and how they can help us at every stage of living

and dying. Many people, over the years, had urged me to write this book. They said that it would help relieve some of the intense sufferings that so many of us go through in the modern world.”

- Sogyal Rinpoche

Module 2: The Great Deception – Understanding death and impermanence

This module takes us on a journey from an investigation of death and impermanence, through deep reflection on change and interdependence, to an appreciation of the immeasurable, indefinable

potential of the true nature of our mind that is revealed beyond a mind that grasps at simple appearance.

“So, learn to die. And thou shall learn how to live. They shall non learn how to live, that had not learned to die”.

This course takes participants on an experiential journey through The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, giving you a taste of its major themes and their practical implications. Suitable for people of any

religion or of none, the course encourages you to reflect on the Buddhist teachings, to see what makes sense to you and to experiment with applying these teachings in your daily life.



Participants in this course will learn:

·          How to meditate

·          How an acceptance of impermanence can help us understand death and change our attitude towards life

·          How meditation can transform our perception, increase our confidence and fully connect us to the world around us
