The webinar featured three insightful speakers: Pandit Rami Sivan, a Hindu priest and scholar; Ayya Suvira, a Buddhist nun from the Australian Sangha Association; and Very Rev. Fr. Tadros El-Bakhoumi OAM from the Coptic Orthodox community in Sydney. Each brought their own stories, rituals, and reflection, offering a rare glimpse into how faith can guide us through life’s final chapter.
