Tara Home is founded with the intent to apply the teachings of the Buddha to dying, death, and bereavement in modern society. Because suffering, change, and interdependence characterize the life of all beings, our four-fold purpose is:
To help the dying attain a happy, peaceful state by the recognition of their positive situation;
To alleviate suffering through aware and compassionate support of the dying and their loved ones;
To enable dying persons and their caregivers to use the process of death as an opportunity to awaken to their fully enlightened nature; and
To expound and deepen societal understanding of the role of death in everyday life.
