Sutra about after death

edited December 2009 in Buddhism Today
I won't be attending this, but I noticed that Namgyal monastery has a weekend intensive on "The sutra (spoken by the Buddha) in response to a query over what happens after death." Anyone know which specific sutra this is, and whether it's in the Pali canon?

A bit more information:
The narrative of the sutra involves the consternation and sorrow following the sudden death of a successful person. Watching all the mourning, King Shuddodhana is filled with questions, impatient to find answers to them. The king poses those questions to the Buddha who responds to each and every query, and at the end illustrates the whole concept through a set of eight everyday life examples.

    Looks interesting, but not a good fit to their description. I realized overnight that I should just write and ask them. I will do that today.

    I'd be interested to find out what it is too. Never heard of it I don't think.
