The Tibetan Book of the Dead is not only a view of death and the post-death experience; it is also about how to live fully and mindfully so death can be met with less anxiety. It provides an opportunity for immense spiritual growth. This class translates what appear to be hard-to-understand concepts and shows how they’re relevant in everyday experience. Emphasis will be on these psychospiritual areas of emotional stress: anger, desire, unawareness of True Self, entitlement, narcissism and envy. We’ll examine why it’s hard to let go in life, seeking happiness in the wrong places and facing end-of-life issues.
