Discover the profound tradition of funerary Chöd, an extraordinary Buddhist practice that transforms our understanding of death, consciousness, and compassion.

This training explores how Chöd’s unique approach to death transcends cultural boundaries, offering practical and profound methods for transforming fear into wisdom while providing essential tools for those working in hospice, death care, or contemplative approaches to end-of-life support. The course bridges traditional Buddhist understanding with contemporary applications, revealing how ancient wisdom can inform modern approaches to death and dying.
