What Happens When You Die? A Buddhism Explained Video from the “From Anxiety, Addiction & Depression to Love, Relief & Understanding: A Buddhist Approach Outing the Ego” Day Long Workshop with Sharon Salzberg, Mark Epstein M.D. and Robert A.F. Thurman, Tibet House US New York, May 2018
Archive recording from the Tibet House US day long workshop “Outing The Ego” (morning session) with Robert A.F. Thurman, Sharon Salzberg + Mark Epstein M.D “From Anxiety, Addiction and Depression” held in New York City, May 2018.
“The time of the between, the transition from a death to a new rebirth, is the best time to attempt consciously to affect the causal process of evolution for the better. Our evolutionary momentum is temporarily fluid during the between, so we can gain or lose a lot of ground during its crises. Tibetans are highly aware of this. It is why they treasure the “Book Of Natural Liberation” so much as a guide to bettering their fate.”
Robert A.F. Thurman from “The Tibetan Book of the Dead“
