Scenario

When a Buddhist community struggles with different grief responses after losing a teacher

Our sangha lost our beloved teacher last year and we're all processing it so differently — some people seem to have found peace through impermanence teachings while others of us are still raw and angry, and I'm worried we're judging each other's grief instead of holding space for it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A spiritual community is fracturing over competing interpretations of how Buddhist teachings should inform collective mourning.
