Buddhist Practice for Living and Dying: What Does It Mean?

The Bozeman Insight Community welcomes Floyd Fantelli as a guest speaker via Zoom on Thursday July 10 from 6:30 to 8 pm.

In this personal and reflective talk, Floyd explores the question at the heart of both life and death: What does it mean? Drawing on the Buddha’s teachings on impermanence, presence, and compassionate care, he shares the intimate journey of accompanying his beloved wife through her final days.

Grounded in Buddhist practice, Floyd reflects on how mindfulness, the Five Daily Recollections (Remembrances), and the cultivation of loving awareness supported him in facing death—not as an end, but as part of a sacred continuum. This talk invites us to look closely at how our practice prepares us not only to die with grace, but to live with meaning, love, and clarity.
