How to Face Death Without Fear Resources
With Venerable Robina Courtin 9th-13th March 2021
“Helping our loved ones at the time of death is the best service we can offer them, our greatest gift. Why? Because death is the most important time of life: it’s at death that the next rebirth is determined.”—Lama Zopa Rinpoche
For years Lama Zopa Rinpoche envisioned a practical book to inform students of how to help loved ones have a beneficial death. How to Face Death without Fear has been compiled from years of Rinpoche’s teachings and has been lovingly edited by Venerable Robina Courtin.
During this course Ven Robina will offer teachings based on the content of this book which provides detailed advice on how to help your loved ones prepare for the end of their life with courage, acceptance, and a mind free of fear. This is information we all need but is especially useful for caregivers, health care professionals, chaplains and social workers.
We hope you will find reassurance in this wealth of advice offered by Lama Zopa Rinpoche and shared by Ven Robina, and will also gain the confidence to ensure that your loved one’s death—and your own—will be joyful and meaningful.
