Being with Dying: Cultivating Compassion and Fearlessness in the Presence of Death

Autor Joan Halifax Roshi Ira Byock
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 oct 2009
The Buddhist approach to death can be of great benefit to people of all backgrounds—as has been demonstrated time and again in Joan Halifax’s decades of work with the dying and their caregivers. Inspired by traditional Buddhist teachings, her work is a source of wisdom for all those who are charged with a dying person’s care, facing their own death, or wishing to explore and contemplate the transformative power of the dying process. Her teachings affirm that we can open and contact our inner strength, and that we can help others who are suffering to do the same.
