Cultures avoid the topic of death and dying.
Prof. Sanjay Barua, a former working journalist and now a senior lecture of the Comparative Philosophy and Religion in the International Programme of the Siam University, has been invited by the WFB to give talk on the above subject due to his belief that contemplation of death will change the way we live and our attitudes towards life. This programme is conducted in English and is free of charge. On the First Sunday of every month WFB offers its programme on Buddhism conducted in English, free of charge for the public at its headquarters off Sukhumvit Road, Bangkok. The Buddhist Forum is an open discussion group featuring a brief presentation on a selected topic of spiritual interest. All attendees are invited to participate in a free exchange of ideas and questions.
