Facing Death, Living Life – Talk and Graveyard Walk
Saturday, October 31 in Charleston, 10am – 11:30am
Taught by Resident Teacher, modern Buddhist monk Gen Kelsang Tabkay
What if the thing we fear most could become our greatest teacher?
This Halloween, Buddhist monk Gen Tabkay will offer an engaging talk on the Buddhist understanding of death and impermanence — exploring how contemplating our mortality, far from being morbid, can awaken us to the beauty of life, free us from petty concerns, and inspire us to live with greater kindness and purpose.
Following the talk, we will take a graveyard walk in the historic Circular Church to bring these reflections alive in a memorable and surprisingly peaceful setting.
This is a unique and lighthearted event open to all — whether you’re curious about meditation, interested in Buddhist philosophy, or simply looking for a Halloween with a difference.
Everyone welcome; no prior experience necessary.
Schedule:
10am – 11:15am — Talk and guided meditation
11:15am -11:30am — Graveyard walk
