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

·          That mind is much more than just thoughts and emotions


Led by Western meditation instructors with many years of experience, each session consists of:

·          Video teachings from Tibetan and Western Buddhist masters including Sogyal Rinpoche, Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche, Ringu Tulku Rinpoche, Mingyur Rinpoche, Pema Chödrön and Sharon     Salzberg.

·          Meditation practice

·          Time for contemplation

·          Group discussions and Q&A, offering each student the opportunity to explore the teachings and practices in an open supportive environment and to connect with a community of practitioners.
