When a Buddhist practitioner dies, in addition to a funeral service that usually occurs on the 3rd or 7th day, there is a 49 Day Ceremony. Mourners may also gather to perform ceremonies after 100 days and on the one-year anniversary of the person’s death. Join Chaplain Alley Smith in an educational and discussion group to explore the 49 Day Ceremony and common practices therein.
"…life is painful with an occasional speck of pleasure. We are born, we get old, we experience sickness, და, last but not least, we die. We are each waiting to die. I’m afraid that is the bad news. Whether you are young or old doesn’t make much difference – everybody will eventually die. So now is the time to do something with your life. We are not interested in developing eternity or immortality, or in preventing being sick or being born. We are interested in doing something while we are alive, while we are breathing, while we see the beauty of the snow, the flowers, the blue sky, the sunshine and many other things we can imagine.”

ხეივანი სმიტი არის ხელდასხმული ბუდისტი რელიგიის მინისტრად (კაპელანი) შამბალას საგვარეულოში. იგი ასევე ფლობს მცნებებს ზენ ბუდიზმში. იგი სპეციალიზირებულია სულიერ მოვლაში, მოკვდავის საქმეები და როგორც დაკრძალვის სასულიერო პირი. Alley has been a student of Shambhala Buddhism and Zen since 1999. ამჟამად მასპინძლობს, “სიკვდილთან მეგობრობა & მომაკვდავი: Support Group” with Shambhala Online. ელფოსტა: [email protected]
