Living Meaningfully, Dying Joyfully
We are alive therefore we will die. This is the simplest most obvious truth. Contemplating our own mortality leads to a profoundly worry-free and happy life. By cutting through our worldy concerns the meditation on death quickly eliminates all our ordinary worries and anxieties.
In this workshop, Gen Kelsang Dorje will explain the meditation on death and how it destroys our uncontrolled desire, thereby leading us to an enjoyable and successful life.
