Living and Dying in Peace

A MIRAGE, A DREAM

Know things to be like this:

THAT CAN BE SEEN

Without essence but with qualities

AUTUMN CLOUDS

This existence is as transient as

IN THE SKY

A lifetime is like a flash of lightening

Dying in a graceful and joyful way – the practice that we need to work on.

Ringu Tulku Rinpoche

RTRshade Our vision for this evolving website is that there will be ongoing guidance and instruction from Ringu Tulku on living a peaceful, purposeful life and how to face, embrace and engage with the end of life, dying and death. From this, and other sources, suggestions can be gathered and offered for the dying person, the family, the care givers, the medical staff, undertakers and the bereaved.

The intention is also to provide information for those who wish to understand a little
more about the Tibetan Buddhist way of life and death, and how we can enhance and extend our positive qualities, our loving kindness, compassion and wisdom for ourselves and for the benefit of all beings.

It is a website for everyone but with some particular Buddhist practices that could be adapted and applied to people of all faiths or of no faith.
