In pre-pandemic times, Buddhist monk and scholar Khenpo Kunga Sherpa performed various in-person Buddhist ceremonies for his community. Now, due to COVID-19 he has practiced online, connecting with thousands via Zoom to perform ancient rituals. He also takes the time to guide people like Mary Lou, a mother who has lost her daughter, through uncertain and hard times. Khenpo advocates Buddhist-inspired practices like meditation and mindfulness for Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike to deal with the stresses and demands of their lives.
This inspiring documentary series shines a light on the evolution of death and dying, and the relationship between caregivers and terminal patients. It challenges ideas about end-of-life care and provides new ways to improve the quality of care.
