✨ What if thinking about death could help us live more fully?

Although we know that life will eventually end, most of us find it difficult to face this truth. Buddhist teachings on impermanence can help us approach life and death with greater clarity, acceptance and peace—while inspiring us to make the most of the life we have now.

Join Resident Teacher Sarah Frew for **Living Meaningfully, Dying Joyfully**, a four-week series of teachings and guided meditations. We’ll explore how to find genuine purpose, overcome fear of death and compassionately support others at the end of their lives.

⏰ 7:00–8:15 PM
📍 KMC Tampa Bay in Safety Harbor

Our Sunday Morning Meditation class was so helpful today. Resident Teacher Sarah Frew taught from How to Solve Our Human Problems about patient acceptance as the antidote to anger. Who doesn’t need this wisdom?

Then afterward we had a community meeting and volunteer appreciation lunch with delicious food prepared by Chef Joe.

It was a really sweet event and everyone left happy and feeling connected.

All are welcome to our meditation classes and prayers. No experience is necessary.

👀 What if the way things appear to us isn’t the way they truly exist?

Buddha taught that the true nature of things is emptiness—but emptiness does not mean nothingness. It is the middle way: the way things actually exist.

During Seeing Reality Clearly, we’ll explore this profound teaching through practical explanations and guided meditations. As our understanding of emptiness grows, our mind can become more relaxed, our view of others more positive and our everyday problems easier to navigate. ✨

⏰ 10:00 AM–1:30 PM
💛 $20 non-members | $10 members | Free for benefactors
