Soul Retrieval in Asia; Death in Buddhism
Sunday February 23, 2025 11:00am - 12:30pm EST
Auditorium 1 (Lecture Hall)

Historically what we now identify as chronic physical conditions, anxiety or depressive disorders, mania, and SUDs, among other behavioral afflictions, were attributed to aspects of the soul wandering out of the body or fragmented by demons. A ritual to call the soul back home was seen as the cure. The discussion on soul retrieval practices in Asia will segue into death and dying per Buddhist mysticism, four categories of death, six realms of life, and how these beliefs tie into soul retrieval.
