His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Facing Death and Dying Well
Description
This film is part of a unique and groundbreaking series that brings the work of the Dalai Lama to a wider audience - illuminating for all those interested in Buddhism, inner peace, and the path to enlightenment. In this program, His Holiness the Dalai Lama teaches about the truth of suffering, the three characteristics of existence (impermanence, suffering or dissatisfaction, and nonself), and the dissolution of the body's elements at death. He explains how meditating on impermanence and the momentary changing nature of existence helps one to appreciate the basic unsatisfactory nature of existence and to strive toward liberation - encouraging all to develop awareness of death and to move from gross understanding to more subtle levels of awareness overall. Produced by the Meridian Trust.
