Dying is a topic that many people prefer to avoid. However, for those of us on the Buddhist path, dying is one of the most important milestones in our journey towards liberation.

Rinpoche has taught us that we need ABCD plans for rebirth in the Pure Land. As his students, we are committed to practicing diligently. In the process of preparing for dying, there are still many worldly matters we need to properly arrange, so that our minds can be clear and at peace, enabling us to be reborn in the Pure Land.

What do we need to do to prevent family disputes after our passing that could disturb the peace of mind at the time of dying?

What legal and medical preparations are needed for us to pass away in a calm and blessed environment, as a Buddhist practitioner?

If we do not wish to be placed on life support at the end of life, how can we make these arrangements in advance?

How can we continue to accumulate merits even after death, leave a legacy of love, and support Rinpoche's Dharma activities through Tergar's mandalas?

This June, during his intensive Hong Kong Teaching Tour, the Venerable Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche has kindly made time to gather with us for a "Fireside Chat" on dying. By answering questions submitted in advance by the audience, Rinpoche will share how we can prepare for dying.

Lawyer Ms. Ryanne Lai, Co-founder of a Hong Kong social enterprise Forevergift.hk, will explain the legal knowledge of making a Will, Enduring Power of Attorney, and Advance Medical Directives in Hong Kong in clear and accessible terms. These are ways we can legally prepare for our own dying.

Additionally, Tergar Asia will introduce its newly established “Tergar Asia End-of-life Care & Legacy Giving Program". This program aims to support dharma friends in completing this crucial lesson of life and death, transforming one's compassionate aspirations into a lasting force that supports the Dharma activities beyond this lifetime.

Date: 25 June 2026 (Thursday)
Time: 2:00 – 4:30 PM
Venue: Hopewell Hotel, Wanchai, Hong Kong
