The Habit of Dying - Tim Boyd

A central fact of life is that all living things experience death. For the reincarnating being the experience of death is something that has been repeated countless times. Why then is this common experience so widely misunderstood and feared? The wisdom traditions of the world have long taught means for transforming the ordinary experience of dying into an extraordinary catalyst for spiritual growth. In this talk, we will discuss the nature of death and some of the teachings for “practising dying” while still alive.
