Join Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche for teachings & meditation on impermanenceโ€”embracing death as a doorway to presence, freedom & joyful living.
About this Event

What if you were told you had one year to live? How would this change your perspective on life, on yourself, on your priorities?

At the moment of death, we let go of everythingโ€”our possessions, our loved ones, our body, our identity. Resistance to letting go, whether at death or in any moment of change, leads to suffering. As we accept the truth of impermanence, we can open to each moment as it is. We can experience awakening. We do not have to wait until our last moment to awakenโ€”we can awaken here, now.

Join Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche as he invites us to reflect on impermanence, our sense of identity, and our hidden attachments. As we deepen our personal relationship to impermanence and death, we can discover the key to living joyfully.

Through teachings and guided meditations, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche will help us to:

  • Realize the importance of resolving conflicts now with our friends, family members, and others
  • Recognize death as a doorway to opening the heart and achieving self-realization
  • Cultivate an intimate connection with an internal source of refuge that sustains us as other supports fall away
  • Explore our individual relationship to death, as well as our desire and commitment to serve others in the dying process

Together we can support one another through reflection and meditation. All are welcome to attend. Please join us for this special opportunity. Learn more at ligmincha.org.

This event is in-person and streamed online on zoom. For more information about this retreat contact [email protected]

Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche is the founder and spiritual director of Ligmincha International. A respected and beloved teacher in the Bรถn Buddhist tradition of Tibet, he has students in more than 25 countries, teaches worldwide, and reaches thousands through his online programs.
