Medical Talk: Temple Chief Discusses Views on Life and Death

The citizen group Yokosuka Yasuragi no Kai, which focuses on cancer care and home end-of-life support, organized a medical lecture on October 10 in Yokosuka about how individuals give meaning to living and dying, a concept known as shiseikan. The speaker was the head priest Nagagan… (name abbreviated in original) who discussed spiritual and practical perspectives on death and dying. The event aimed to help community members reflect on end-of-life choices and improve understanding of home-based care and palliative support.
