Buddhist traditions have developed numerous practices to prepare for death and to support others in their dying process. This program will explore a range of Buddhist approaches to death and dying, compassion, and contemplative practices that address end-of-life care. We will also explore how we might apply these Buddhist approaches and practices to contemporary caregiving with the dying. Participants will deepen their understanding of the skills that support us in being present to the dying through a Buddhist lens and reflect on the process of dying as an opportunity for spiritual growth through meditation exercises, listening practices, group work, and discussion.
