The resident, known only as Jenny, from Essendon West, Melbourne, told 3AW that she was horrified when she read the pamphlet.
‘It directly endorses suicide,’ she said.
‘I was astounded.

‘I thought it was really inappropriate for the community, especially around the festive season when people might be triggered off by different emotional things.’
The leaflet advertises a meditation seminar entitled: ‘Life after death exists. The spiritual side of suicide.’
It claims people reincarnate and those who committed suicide would not ‘always’ go to hell.
It also offers to help people who ‘did end their life prematurely’.
‘If we end our life prematurely, what happens with our life plan? What happens to us? How does it affect our next life? Do we go to hell? (No, not always),’ it said.
The seminar promises to help people ‘understand life in a better way’ and cope ‘with harsh criticism through inner fortitude’.
The group is listed as a religious organisation on social media that has existed since the 1980s
The notice also promises to help people with their issues so they didn’t have to resort to suicide.
The group is listed as an international religious organisation on social media that has existed since the 1980s.
The Daily Mail Australia has contacted the organisation listed on the flyer for comment.
