Timeless Knowledge about Death: In-Person Retreat
With Erik Pema Kunsang
April 10 - 12, 2026
Beliefs and hopeful expectations project various scenes, ranging from safe heavenly realms to complete extinction, a wipe-out into nothingness.
The way of the buddha is one of not following preconceived ideas or beliefs, but rather accepting reality on a most fundamental level.
During this retreat we will explore how to connect with reality free of ideas and how this timeless knowledge can liberate us, with or without a body. We will go into deeper mysteries like what happens inside the body when we die. How to develop fearlessness based on real experience and how compassion is the key that opens a hundred doors into the unknown.
