A Vajrayana Buddhist education and support program offering spiritual resources for the end of life transition.
WELCOME TO TLC!
Caring for End of Life Transitions in the Buddhist Tradition
“How many years have we struggled trying to establish the dharma, trying to teach, trying to learn? This program, TLC Transitional Life Care, is really trying to do that. It is for the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha; it is for the benefit of all beings.
I think it’s a good idea, help everybody open their eyes! This program
is for the Three Jewels – it is wonderful. I say, thank you.”
Spiritual Care and Support
TLC Transitional Life Care provides informal support through the process of dying to individuals, families, caregivers, friends, and the community. We present educational programs and videos, workshops, and host support talk groups. TLC also offers a concise Buddhist end-of-life manual, 'Instructions for the Transitional State' and a large variety of resources found on this website for those who wish to acknowledge and prepare for their end of life transition, all from a Vajrayana Buddhist perspective. All of our activities are motivated to support this.

LAST WORDS
When death joins a relationship, our words escape us. How do we talk about such a thing? How do we tell people what we want, what we feel? In this program, we will consider how to talk to a dying person, and how the dying talk to us. And afterward? How do we express these deepest of feelings?

TLC is very happy to share this photo of His Holiness the Dalai Lama accepting a copy of our manual, 'Instructions for the Transitional State', offered in Dharamshala, India in April of 2026. At that time, His Holiness offered to bestow a blessing on TLC's program at a future date, a cause for joy!
