Facing Fear: Lessons from the Charnel Ground

Talk given by Tarapalita on 2026-02-14.

What are you afraid of: death, loss, or even your own potential? In this talk, Tarapalita explores how the Buddhist tradition encourages turning directly toward what frightens us. Drawing inspiration from the ancient practice of meditating in the charnel grounds, where the living sat with the dead, he reflects on how confronting fear and impermanence can transform our lives.

Discover how this fearless facing of reality can release energy, deepen awareness, and open the path to awakening, symbolized in the wild, free energy of the Dakini.
