Dead, Time between & the Next Life | Tsechen Kuchab Ling | Online Event


Join us online on April 15 and 16 when Science Meets Buddhism on the topic of Death, the Time Between, and Rebirth. Using video, audio, and live presentations, this two-day digital conference will present both emerging medical research and the classical texts of Tibetan Buddhism, followed by inter-disciplinary discussion by physicians and Buddhist practitioners.

Topics that will be covered from both the medical and Buddhist perspectives are:
What is death? How does it feel to die? How do Tibetan Buddhist teachings compare to current medical research?
What does academic research on near-death experiences tell us about what the mind experiences after death? What do Buddhist teachings tell us about the “bardo” state?
What patterns emerge from the thousands of cases that scientists have documented from people who remember their previous lives? What transfers from life to life? Is there evidence for what Buddhists call “karma” affecting future rebirth?

This conference is free of charge and sponsored by the Tsechen Kunchab Ling Library.

Saturday, April 15 | 10:00 am – 1:00 pm  New York time
