Living Is Dying: How to Prepare for Death, Dying and Beyond

For most people, death is an uncomfortable topic that is best avoided. Although it is a natural part of life, it is what makes our world real and our days meaningful. The author draws on Buddhist teachings about death, dying, and the bardo (intermediate state), but does not present it as a rigid religion or doctrine only for “his own.” He shares advice such as:
what to say to someone who is dying;
how to be there when you don’t know what to do;
what practices to support yourself or a loved one.
The book will be of interest not only to Buddhists, but also to those who have ever lost, are afraid of losing, or simply want to find emotional balance and live a deeper and more fulfilling life. Because to live is to die. If you accept this statement, life becomes more conscious.
