How Best to Die …
and How Best to Help Others Who are Dying
Sunday, May 17th
10:30-12:00pm
In Buddhist practice, meditating on our own death is an essential part of ones spiritual training. Why? Because by facing our death with a wisdom understanding of what is truly taking place in that process, not only are we able to engage in it with a peaceful acceptance but it becomes a powerful encouragement and inspiration to live each day of our life to the fullest.
In this course, Resident Teacher France Roy will explain the Buddhist perspective on what happens to our mind when we die. He will guide meditations that will take us through that process. We will learn how we can die peacefully, even joyfully, and how we can help others to do the same. We can give power and meaning to our own deaths.
No experience is necessary. Everyone is welcome.

We Can Heal the Past
Sunday, June 14th
10:30-12:00pm
Our struggles with mental health all have their roots in the past. We feel ourself to be trapped in unhappy states and behaviors, and in some cases traumatized and stuck there, due to situations now long gone. We often see the past as something that definitely has happened - that is locked in - we feel there is nothing we can do about it. Our various coping mechanisms such as our distractions and compulsions, do not solve the underlying problems, and sometimes make things worse, both for ourselves and those we are close to.
According to Buddha, however, we can completely heal our past. The reasons for this are profound. The past is actually not a fixed thing. Like everything, it depends on our perception.
In this course we will apply Buddha’s powerful and liberating teachings on the nature of reality to change our experience of the past. These tried and tested methods are immensely empowering. By helping us to let go of those mistaken states of mind that keep us trapped in the past, we are able to reassess our experience from the vantage point of our incredible potential. That which previously held us back becomes the springboard towards real inner growth and fulfillment. Our Resident Teacher, France Roy, will explain these profound insights and he will guide us in applying them in meditation so that we can begin to experience their transformative impact for ourselves.
