About Event:

Life and death are inseparable parts of our human journey. Understanding death helps us live more fully, with awareness, kindness, and purpose.

This course presents Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s essential advice for the time of death and for making life meaningful. It also provides practical guidance for reflecting on and preparing for one’s own death and supporting others through theirs.

Students will gain confidence in facing their own death and will also learn how to provide help and support to others before, during, and even after their passing.

During this course, Geshela will guide us through the stages of dying, offering teachings and meditations to deepen understanding and cultivate compassion.

Drawing from Buddhist teachings and personal reflection, we will explore practical ways to face impermanence, transform fear, and open our hearts to acceptance and loving presence.

Whether you are dealing with loss, supporting someone in transition, or simply wishing to deepen your understanding of life’s natural cycle, this course offers gentle guidance and inspiration for living and dying well.

About our Teacher:

Geshe Thubten Sherab was born in Nepal of Tibetan parents, and received his education at Kopan Monastery, Nepal, the spiritual center of the FPMT. He completed his studies at Sera Jey Monastic University and at Gyume Tantric College in India. He has lived in the USA working at the FPMT Central office and several nearby Dharma Centers in Taos, New Mexico.

He returned to Nepal after several years in the U.S. to become Headmaster of Kopan Monastery. Geshe-la has retired from the this role in order to have more time to devote to meditation and to teaching internationally. For the last few years, he has been travelling and teaching at FPMT Centers in USA, Canada, Mexico, Asia and Europe.

FPMT’s Mandala magazine published a story about Geshe Sherab which you can read here: The Master from the New Generation.
