Can consideration of death make our lives more meaningful?
Can we use our state of mind at the moment of death to
affect what kind of rebirth we will take in our next life?
Explore the process of death and rebirth and its impact on
how we live our lives. Be guided in skillful reflection on
the meaning of death and what to expect at the time of
death. Learn how accepting the reality of death and
preparing for it helps us fulfill our purpose in life,
resolve conflicts, and develop skills to help both ourselves
and others at the time of death. Come to understand how
eventually, through Buddhist practice, we can overcome death
altogether.
Venerable Tenzin Legtsok is in the
eighteenth year of the Geshe Studies Program at
Sera Jey Monastic University in South India where he studies
classic Indian Buddhist treatise and their Tibetan
commentaries in the tradition of ancient Nalanda
University. He has been ordained as a Buddhist monk since
2001.
Born in Virginia, USA in 1973, he obtained a Bachelor of
Arts from Kenyon College in 1995. The question, “What
makes for the most happy and meaningful life,” which
compelled him to major in philosophy during college
gradually led to his study of meditation and philosophy
with teachers among the exiled Tibetan communities in
India and Nepal from 1999 until the present.
For the past ten years he has tried to make basic Buddhist
teachings accessible to various audiences in India and the
US through lectures, essays, and meditation instruction.
