In Tibetan Buddhism death and the period after death are very important things, to understand and contemplate. In our culture we avoid these topics, thinking them too pessimistic, almost taboo. But without understanding and facing our own death we lose a great opportunity. Death is not the opposite of life, but it is part of it. Contemplating death may lead to greater freedom in life: freedom from fear.
We will look at the vision of what happens at death, after death, and our rebirth, according to Tibetan Buddhism. In this way we can prepare for the "moment" without fear or confusion. Tibetan Buddhism offers us many ways to prepare for death, so that we can become friends with death and use it as our greatest teacher: a teacher who helps us to live life to the fullest, without losing the precious little time that is given us. We'll also learn what is the best way we can be of help to others at the time of death.
