About this listen

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.

Having just lost my mother and step-father within less than a year of each other, I found myself looking for reassurance and this audiobook certainly helped.

Interesting concept of how we are all dying and how we need to live fully

I really made a mistake with this. This “buddhist”, having made a living out of the dying for many years relays all the usual priestly woo woo nonsense. Just keep her away from my deathbed or she might go first.
