SUMMARY:Death\, Dying\, Rebirth Class and Memorial Offering
DESCRIPTION:Death\, Dying\, Rebirth class and memorial offering \nWorkshop on Befriending Mortality. A time to slow down the business of life\nand explore the realities of impermanence. Led by facilitators; Thay Kozen and\nTamara Thiel \nWe will explore the spirituality of death\, grief\, and Buddhist beliefs\, along with \nfactual information about ethical\, legal and moral issues. \nThay Kozen is the resident monk at Mt. Adams Buddhist Temple and previously directed\na hospice for many years. \nTamara Thiel serves as a death doula in the Columbia Gorge Area. A death doula\nor end-of-life doula is a person who offers compassionate\, holistic support during\nthe end-of-life process. It is a non-medical role that recognizes death as a natural\npart of life and aids in supporting families\, with dignity and honor\, as a person\nexits life. Death doulas do not replace hospice but fill the gaps and build bridges\nto build a team for individuals facing the end-of-life. \nTogether\, we will look at Buddhist concepts of life\, suffering\, and death –\nSamsara. There will be teachings on the conceptual framework of the grief\nprocess and the types of grief we can experience. Then we slow down\, tune in\nand experience a labyrinth grief walk.  \nAn overview education on dying and death will be presented\, examining the\nlandscape from diagnosis to death and the care support we might want and the\nend-of-life choices we can make. We will learn about recording wishes with of a\nPOA (Power of Attorney)\, an AD (Advance Directive)\, and a POLST (Physician\nOrders for Life Sustaining Treatment). Also discussed will be our after-death\nchoices and the options that are available. We will conclude on the Five\nInvitations and discover what death can teach us about living fully. Practices that\ncan offer inspiration and guidance to be explored and deepened. Each participant\nwill receive a booklet of all the presented material including a list of resources for\nguidance.

SUMMARY:Ullambana / Vu Lan - Day of Remembrance ("Ghost Day")
DESCRIPTION:The Yulanpen Sutra\, also known as the Ullambana Sutra\, is a Mahayana sutra concerning filial piety. (Historic story about a monk who saved his mother).  Join us for our regular Saturday morning service which will include a celebration of this story of compassion.   \nUllambana\, surprisingly\, has multiple stories about its origin. Based on the region where it is celebrated\, people have passed on varying stories about the day. The word ‘Ullambana’ itself is probably derived from the Indian Language of Sanskrit and was translated into Chinese to form ‘Ullambana.’ In India\, you would probably hear people say “Yulanpen Sutra\,” which is in more than one way similar to the Chinese Ullambana. \nThe story behind the day is interesting. The story is of a boy\, Sariputta\, who rescues his mother who is trapped in a life-cycle continuum. Legend has it that Petavatthu\, Sariputta’s mother\, is trapped in the fifth life cycle as a ghost\, unable to come back as a human. To help his mother\, Sariputta builds huts and fills them with food for the needy to eat from as a gesture of his sacrifice. The gods accept his sacrifice and his mother is freed. \nSee https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yulanpen_Sutra    \n  \nPhoto credit: By unknown artist(Life time: 19th century) – Original publication: not published Immediate source:http://academic.reed.edu/hellscrolls/scrolls/Aseries/A10/A10c.html\, PD-US\, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?curid=44727949
