What is Wheel of Life?


Help for the Dying and Their Carers

Birth and death, sickness and health, are part of the reality of human existence. In particular, our attitude towards dying and death makes a great deal of difference to the way in which we experience them. Wheel of Life - Hospice Service offers training so that each of us can prepare for our own death.

Helping others wherever one can, according to their needs, is the true expression of compassion. Wheel of Life  Hospice Service aims to offer this gift of affection and love, companionship and emotional and spiritual support to those individuals and their families who are facing life-threatening illness, to the dying, to those who have died and to those who are left grieving.

The Coordinator of the Wheel of Life-Hospice Service is Venerable  Losang Chodron.
Wheel of Life is a community service of the Hayagriva Buddhist Centre.

2010 Program.

2010 brings a whole new program from Wheel of Life. This year we have a different approach that we think may give more time for reflection and enable us to go more deeply into topics that you seemed to especially appreciate last year. As you will see on the attached flyer we are offering three “Mini Series” study groups instead of one long course. Anyone can attend these meetings whether or not they attended last year, so please feel free to pass this flyer to anyone you think may be interested.
