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.

This program is offered in collaboration with Land of Medicine Buddha.
Born in Scotland, in 1970, Venerable Angie
Muir obtained a Bachelor's Degree in
1992. Feeling disillusioned with her prospective career
path and life ahead of her, she left Scotland and combined
travelling with work in Asia for 3 years until in 1995 she
felt a calling to go to India to explore meditation and
find her life path. Within a few months she “had the
incredible fortune due to some previous karma” to discover
Tibetan Buddhism, and meet her main spiritual teacher
Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche (of almost 30 years) and become
ordained.
Venerable Angie has been a Buddhist nun for over 25
years. During this time, she served at Lama Zopa
Rinpoche's residences in the U.S. for 13 years. In
addition to doing various personal retreats, she has
offered service, teaching, and leading meditation at other
FPMT centers.
