Important note: This training is only open to those who have attended the spring class series, “Living, Knowing We Are Dying.”

Vigil Keepers is an optional additional training offered to everyone who attends a death and dying class at KSC. If you are interested in learning how to utilize specific meditations to benefit the dying and deceased, you are welcome to join the training on Tuesday, June 4th, from 4 – 6 pm.

Pre-registration is required (see below). There is no charge for the teaching, although you are welcome to make a donation to support the center.

At the training, you will receive a copy of the The Vigil Keepers’ Practice Book, which includes ways to practice Calm Abiding, Tonglen, Chenrezig and Mahakala meditations on behalf of the dying and deceased. There will be guided meditations during the presentation.

At the conclusion of the training, you will be invited to join the Vigil Keepers, who are called upon occasionally to dedicate their meditations to benefit sangha members who are dying or have recently passed. The choice to join this group is yours.
