Thay Thông Pháp: One Buddhist Perspective on Death

Description

“I look at death from a personal and a broader political point of view.
I also consider the need to befriend death partly from a Vietnamese Buddhist perspective, from the point of view of one Irish poet and from the point of view of Harry Potter.”

Speaker

Thích Trúc Thông Pháp is a bhikkhu (fully ordained monk) in a Vietnamese meditation tradition. His teacher is the Most Venerable Thầy Thích Thanh Từ, a meditation master in the Truc Lam (Bamboo Forest) school. Originating from Port Adelaide in South Australia and then Tasmania from 2010- 2017, he now lives in the Southern Flinders Ranges with a small community of Anglican religious brothers and sisters. He has a Master’s Degree in Social Sciences (Counselling) and a Diploma in Psychosynthesis and was the Buddhist representative chaplain at the University of Tasmania for four years prior to working for four years as the Buddhist chaplain at Oasis, the multifaith chaplaincy centre at Flinders University, SA.
