“Death is a mirror in which the entire meaning of life is reflected.”
~ The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying
Death is in equal measure a certainty and a deep mystery. While the predominant relationship we have with death is that of a deep fear, the wisdom of cultures across the world point to a profound value of relating to death, as a key to living fully and with meaning. In the words of the Stoic philosopher and Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, “It is not death that a man should fear, but rather he should fear never beginning to live.”
Join us for this evening of a talk, Q&A and a guided dialogue to relate to philosophical teachings about death, and how we can make these learnings practical. We will relate to ideas from ancient civilisations like Tibet, Egypt, China and Greece.
