How to Prepare for Death and Dying

Facing death is not easy. Many of us carry fears about our own death and the death of those we love. Yet it’s an unavoidable part of life. Our newest online course faces death head-on, offering Buddhist wisdom to help you prepare, both spiritually and practically. ​ Whether you’re anticipating the death of a loved one, preparing for your own death, or just want to get more comfortable with the idea of death, our new course from Zen teacher and palliative care nurse Sallie Jiko Tisdale helps you ask important questions and offers a supportive path that you can follow at your own pace. ​ “This can be a difficult topic to face,” says Sallie. “[But] facing the fact that life is finite is one of the most important lessons of a spiritual practice. This course draws on spiritual thinking, especially that of Zen Buddhism, and covers the many practical concerns we have as death approaches.” ​ Throughout a total of six weeks, you’ll explore acceptance and denial, planning and preparing, the moment of death, and the grieving process in a supportive and gentle container. ​ How to Prepare for Death and Dying begins November 9, but you can start any time after that date and go at your own pace. Learn more about the course and enroll here.

The Fertile Soil of Daily Life

The brain does not intrinsically sense daily life as a minefield of terrifying distractions but as fertile soil out of which kindness might grow, rooting all to the solid ground of common, lived experience. Matt Hanson, “Kindness Is the Science” ​ CLICK HERE TO READ THE ARTICLE

Via [GBF] "Discovering the Intimacy of True Seeing" with Dorothy Hunt

The latest dharma talk is now available on the GBF website and podcast: 

Discovering the Intimacy of True Seeing

______________
What does it truly mean to look beyond our conceptual labels and rest in the direct, unmediated experience of awareness?

In this illuminating talk, Dorothy Hunt invites us to explore how true seeing shatters the illusion of separation and brings us home to the present moment. She gently guides us to recognize that awareness is not something we achieve, but rather what we fundamentally are when we stop searching and simply notice what is here.

As Dorothy explains, softening into this deep inquiry involves a few essential shifts in perception:

• Recognizing that our thoughts, sensations, and emotions are simply passing expressions of a vast, welcoming mystery rather than fixed identities to defend.
• Dropping the spiritual ambition to “get somewhere” else, and instead allowing ourselves to rest fully in the ordinary, intimate immediacy of now.
• Cultivating a compassionate, unshielded tenderness toward our human vulnerability, letting awareness hold every experience just as it is.
