February 3, 2024 Facing Death With Wisdom   Whether we want to face it or not, the truth is that we will all die at some point. How can we approach death with awareness and wisdom rather than fear and clinging? This month’s Film Club pick, Review, considers that exact question. Following three terminally ill people, the film documents their last moments as they reflect on the lives they have lived and courageously move towards their moment of death with the support of spiritual care.  Through intimate conversations and emotional breakthroughs, terminal patients Guan Wei, Yao Hua, and Yu Shan explore and overcome their various attachments and sentiments towards life. The film is an honest portrayal of the difficulty in letting go and facing death, but also the courage that can be generated in order to move towards death with more ease and wisdom. Tricycle subscribers can watch the film now through February 29.    Watch the film »   Also this week:  Sign up for free to join Resilience, Recovery, Repair, an event series hosted by May We Gather, on February 8 and 24 at 7PM ET exploring the history of America’s early Buddho-Daoist temples and Asian American Buddhist resilience alongside racial karma.    The Wisdom of Equanimity in Global Crisis with Lama Karma is this month’s Dharma Talk offering a teaching on how to authentically connect with equanimity.   The Five Spiritual Powers, our latest online course with Bodhi College, offers an exploration of faith, energy, mindfulness, collectedness, and wisdom that together create the path of the indriyas.
