The Buddha had a lot to say about aging, illness and death.  His wisdom feels relevant today in our present day society that often avoids these topics. How can we meet death fearlessly? How can we learn to mourn wisely and not get lost in grief? Come join the conversation in this monthly study group using the book Older and Wiser: Classical Buddhist Teachings on Aging, Sickness, and Death by Mu Soeng, Gloria Taraniya Ambrosia and Andrew Olendzki. This group is an offshoot of the course offered in the fall at Assaya, however it is open to all Assaya members regardless of whether they were in that class. We started at the beginning of the book and we are slowly going through it again. This is a study group with members leading discussion on a rotating basis with Journey deVries as lead teacher.  For the May 10 meeting, please read sections 2.1 and 2.2 in the chapter on Equanimity.
