Halle O’Neal: The Buddhist Approach to Healing

17th August 10:30 AM 11:30 AM BST

Healing practices – physical, emotional, or spiritual – are part of what make us human; they’re also key tenets of Buddhism. They come in a wide range of inventive options, including interacting with relics, repairing broken objects, even eating slips of scripture! Join Dr Halle O’Neal, co-director of the Edinburgh Centre for Buddhist Studies, for this special discussion on the myriad forms of repair and healing offered by Buddhism across history and cultures, including for everyday challenges like illness, childbirth, and life after death.
