There's More to Dying than Death draws on the Tibetan Buddhist tradition of positively preparing for death throughout one's life. Lama Shenpen Hookham offers Westerners like herself a warm, readable and heartfelt exposition on the issues that surround death and caring for the dying, including:
- How meditation helps us understand death.
- The stages of death and rebirth.
- How the living can help the dead or dying.
- Practical planning for one's own death.
There's More to Dying than Death is of great interest to anyone seeking a spiritual perspective on death and a deeper experience of being truly alive.
Lama Shenpen Hookham has practised in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition for nearly forty years, both in India and in her native Britain. With Khenpo Rinpoche as her root teacher, she focuses on the Mahamudra and Dzogchen teachings. She founded the Awakened Heart Sangha, teaches widely, and has worked for many years on how to make Buddhism more accessible to westerners. She is excellent at making Tibetan Buddhist philosophy inspiring and pertinent for contemporary society.
Accessible to Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike…. The author explains the meaning of death from a meditator's perspective…. Written with clarity and insight, this book speaks from the heart.
