Tibetan Spirituality and How to Take Care of PatientsThe Tibetans inspire us to love not only our human fellows but tiny beings as insects and those from other realms. Their wisdom leads us to the domain of death which is in fact the domain of living. What do we learn from Tibetan spirituality and how can we apply it to everyday life, particularly when we need to look after patients? What should be our view toward cancer? How can patients deal with it so that their mind is liberated from fear and all sorts of mental suffering? The Surin 1000 Stars Group and the Thousand Stars Buddhism and Science Group are pleased to invite interested persons to attend a special seminar on "Tibetan Spirituality and How to Look After Patients" at Surin Hospital, Muang District, Surin Province on Friday April 25, 13.00-16.00 hrs.
