TLC Transitional Life Care
A volunteer based non-profit
in the Vajrayana Buddhist tradition
offering education and support for the end of life transition.
We will serve together in order to:
carry out traditional Vajrayana Buddhist end of life customs and rituals
support those approaching death and who have recently died and their families
gain knowledge about the Buddhist practice of caring for the body at death
further our understanding of ‘end of life’ care with continuing education
offer referrals for end of life care, bereavement care, and support literature
TLC Transitional Life Care has as its centerpiece their concise end-of-life manual 'Instructions for the Transitional State ~ A Concise Guide for Families and Friends of Vajrayana Buddhists written by Julie Rogers and compiled with the guidance of Venerable Gyatrul Rinpoche, a Buddhist master. TLC hosts events with Buddhist masters and teachers, medical professionals, and end-of-life experts to provide educational guidance. TLC offers over 40 free end-of-life videos for educational purposes, workshops, a newsletter, referrals and instruction in topics such as caring for the dying and deceased, and bereavement support. People of all faiths are welcome.
