Re: REQUEST> Buddhism on Death and Dying

by Susanne Ott
Dear Brad,
We had a series of lectures about that topic in 2009, at the Center for Buddhist Studies in Hamburg, organized by Dr Barbara Schuler. I do not remember whether there is also a print publication. Anyway, there was a photo exhibition, and the lectures (all of them in German, by Prof. Lambert Schmithausen and others) are still online. You can find the links to the lectures here: https://www.buddhismuskunde.uni-hamburg.de/en/veranstaltungen/veranstaltungsaufzeichnungen/2008-12.html">https://www.buddhismuskunde.uni-hamburg.de/en/veranstaltungen/veranstalt...
 Kind regards,
Susanne
