"Being with Dying and Compassionate Care" a talk by Joan Halifax Roshi at Annexe Building, IIC, Lodhi Estate > 9am-5pm on 23rd October 2011
Time : 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
Event Details : The Foundation For Universal Responsibility of His Holiness the Dalai Lama in collaboration with CanSupport present a talk on 'Being with Dying and Compassionate Care' by Joan Halifax Roshi.
Exploring how we can help make the experience of dying be more gentle, peaceful, and conscious can have far-reaching consequences on how we live and our fundamental values and world view. This daylong program is an endeavour to inspire a gentle revolution in our relationship to dying and living, a means for people to explore the meaning of death in the experience of their own lives and through the experience of each other, and to develop an approach to death that is kind, open and dignified. In being with dying, it is possible that we can see death and know life in terms of compassion and awakening. In gently caring for the dying, we can more peacefully and wisely care for the living and for life itself.
