Death and impermanence are sometimes perceived as unsettling topics, associated with confusion, grief and suffering. Although we may have an intellectual understanding that one day we will die, generally we are reluctant to think about death for these reasons, and so this knowledge does not touch our hearts. However, if we learn to contemplate and meditate on death and impermanence with wisdom, we will discover they are profoundly uplifting and liberating, enabling us to develop a clear and joyful mind and forget our everyday worries and anxieties.

By meditating correctly on these topics, we will awaken great spiritual energy and the power to overcome our habitual negative minds and preoccupation with trivialities.

We can also learn what we can do to protect ourselves and help others during this critical passage in our life. In this way, we can make our lives truly meaningful and of great benefit to those around us. On this morning course Kelsang Malaya will help us come to terms with our own mortality and will reveal how this wisdom can make our precious human life deeply joyful and beneficial to others. Eventually, we will develop the ability to transform death into a liberating experience.

This course is suitable for everyone, from complete beginners to experienced meditators.
