As event of the “Mortali. Vivere nonostante” Festival, Diana Petech will offer a reflection on the dimensions of death and life, retracing the teachings of the Zen Buddhist tradition to promote awareness of the meaning and miracle of being alive. A well-known Zen story tells of a man galloping on a horse running at great speed, without knowing where he is going: we often pursue goals and directions that are not always clear to us, but life deserves to be lived and savored fully, right from the start.

The Festival is the result of a project by Rete Mortali, which includes Fondazione Hospice Trentino Onlus and other important healthcare organizations in Trentino-Alto Adige. It is organized in collaboration with FBK-ISR.
