Make friends with death

Author: Judith L. Lief

Closing our eyes on the death that awaits us, filling our existence with futile occupations, means living halfway, losing sight of the mystery and meaning of life. Judith Lief, Buddhist teacher disciple of Chögyam Trungpa, teaches in these pages some simple exercises and meditations to explore one's relationship with death and to help malayou and the dying with loving kindness, since knowing how to die also means knowing how to live with more compassion and less fear.
