When we are on our deathbed, what will truly matter at that time? How we have put joyful effort into a meaningful life of love, compassion and wisdom.
“Buddha said:
You are your own protector,
You are your own enemy.
If we have deep compassion and wisdom we can protect ourself from suffering and danger, and so become our own protector; but if we allow anger and ignorance to destroy our happiness and good fortune we are harming ourself, and so become our own enemy. Whether we are our own protector or our own enemy is our choice, our responsibility.”
Join us for lunch and then a walk through beautiful Zionsville Cemetery as we explore death through a Buddhist lens. Rather than treating death as a taboo or something to fear, Buddhism invites us to look at it honestly—and use it as a reminder to live more fully. Along the walk, we will stop for meditations and guided discussions on these topics. Come for a walk, stay for the big questions—and leave with a different perspective on “being alive”.
