Winter Retreat 2026: How Do I Apply the Dhamma to Disease and Death!?!

1/10/2026

From January 4th to April 2nd 2026, the bhikkhunis of KBV were on winter retreat. During this time, the regularly scheduled Saturday morning program taught by Ayya Santussika took many of the suttas referenced in "Mindfully Facing Disease and Death" by Bhikkhu Anālayo as their basis.

For those who want to dive deeply into this material, you may want to read the book as we discuss the suttas in the audio or video recordings below.
