About Event:
We started a new round of these practical and inspiring Discovering Buddhism teachings in May 2024, Now we continue with the fourth subject Death and Rebirth
Explore with Ven Pema the process of death and rebirth and its impact on how we live our lives. Be guided in skillful reflection on the meaning of death and what to expect at the time of death. Learn how accepting the reality of death and preparing for it helps us fulfill our purpose in life, resolve conflicts, and develop skills to help both ourselves and others at the time of death. Come to understand how eventually, through Buddhist practice, we can overcome death altogether. During this retreat weekend, through discussion and meditation you will come to a closer understanding of this essential subject.

About our Teacher:
Ven. Pema received ordination from our spiritual director, Lama Zopa Rinpoche in 2010. She finished Discovering Buddhism in 2005 and has since graduated both the Basic Program and Masters Program.
Since 2015, Ven. Pema has been teaching Discovering Buddhism and has recently expanded her teaching to online courses for American centres and ten-day residential courses in Nepal. Before becoming ordained, she worked as a teacher in Business, Law, and Computing for nearly 20 years, gaining valuable experience. Now, she blends her teaching expertise with her passion for Dharma.
