The Buddha taught that old age, illness, and the inevitability of death can be powerful positive teachers in our lives. In this workshop we will combine discussion, silent meditation periods, and reflection on the first three of the Buddha’s five reflections – I am of a nature to age, to get sick, and to die. We will explore how a shared, open inquiry into these universal themes can help wake us up to living a richer, more fulfilling life, in the here and now. All are welcome.
