Love and Death 2024: Opening the Great Gifts: Warm Welcome (1 of 8)

Upaya Zen Center's Dharma Podcast - A podcast by Joan Halifax | Zen Buddhist Teacher Upaya Abbot

Roshi Joan and Frank  Ostaseski offer their warm welcome in this first session of Love & Death: Opening the Great Gifts. Roshi Joan reflects on the impacts of the pandemic, not only on medicine and the medical field but in our drastic and unmoderated facing of our mortality, which reached not just a few cities or nations, but the whole world. The sensitive nature of this program is hinted at when participants share their very real and immediate circumstances which brought them here. Frank settles us in and opens the question, “What have I learned about love, from being with dying?”. To access the resources page for this program, please sign up by clicking here.
