Death and Dying: A Guide
Death and Dying: A Guide was written to provide guidance and support to dharma practitioners and their loved ones. The Guide is designed to enable us to prepare in practical ways for the inevitable time when we and those we love will die. This resource addresses the experience of dying and death, how that experience might present, and what preparations one can make to ease stress and enhance the experience, both for the one who is dying and for those who have the honor and responsibility of attending a dying loved one. It is written to be used (1) by Shambhala, other Buddhist lineages, and meditation practitioners in general to prepare for dying and death, and (2) by both Buddhist and non-Buddhist family members and friends who have the responsibility of caring for a meditation practitioner through the dying, death, and post-death experiences.
