Buddhist Nun Witnesses 100s Of Deaths - What Did She Learn?


Listen Later

In today's episode, Gen Gomlam delves into the profound and often uncharted territory of death and dying. Having worked as a Nurse for over 30 years she has experience of helping others in the final stages of life, and more recently faced up to the possibility of her own death. As a Buddhist nun she shares insights into what actually happens when we die and how that can affect our life in a positive way. In a society that frequently shies away from discussions about mortality, it is refreshing to bring these essential conversations to the forefront.
