In this beautiful presentation of Buddhist wisdom on death and dying, the Dalai Lama offers both his own thoughts on the end of life and the matchless insights of the Buddhist tradition regarding death. With the quiet and wise simplicity, the Dalai Lama combines straightforward lessons on living a good life through compassion, patience, wisdom, and effort with Buddhist teachings on the impermanence of existence, the acceptance of death, and the achievement of joy, peace, and spiritual wisdom.
