“Death is one of the most precious experiences in life, literally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Yet after many years of teaching on death and dying, I am surprised that even for spiritual practitioners death remains a dreaded event. We dread it because we don’t know about it. We don’t look forward to death because we don’t know what to look forward to.”
Death comes for everyone, yet few of us are truly prepared for it. When the moment arrives, whether it’s our own or that of someone we love, will we be ready, in spirit and in practical matters alike? In Preparing to Die, Andrew Holecek offers a rich collection of tools and teachings to help readers face our mortality and the inevitable end.
Although this book is written from the Buddhist perspective, it is also for those who want to learn how to help someone else who is dying and how to face the subject with less fear.
