OSHER 385 - Rest in Peace

According to Paramahansa Yogananda, the "fear of death is ridiculous, because as long as you are not dead you are alive, and when you are dead there is nothing more to worry about!" So many of us fear death and never want to think or talk about it. But the more educated and prepared we are, the less we will fear death. This course will explore the process of death, the preparations we can make for a "good death," what matters most to us in life and after we pass away, mediating family matters, cultural traditions, and spiritual insights about death. And, what do we really mean by "...over my dead body?"
