A renowned Tibetan lama’s guidance for supporting your loved ones through death, and dying without fear yourself, now in a revised second edition. “Helping our loved ones at the time of death is the best service we can offer them, our greatest gift. Why Because death is the most important time of life: it’s at death that the next rebirth is determined.”—Lama Zopa Rinpoche For years Lama Zopa Rinpoche envisioned a practical book to inform students how to help loved ones have a beneficial death. How to Face Death Without Fear has been compiled from years of Rinpoche’s teachings and has been lovingly edited in this second edition by Venerable Robina Courtin. Lama Zopa Rinpoche provides detailed advice on how best to prepare ourselves to face the inevitable end of our own and our loved ones’ lives with courage, grace, and a mind free of fear. With great care, Rinpoche explains what to do in the months, weeks, and days that precede death, as well as how to handle the moment itself, and he provides the mantras, prayers, and meditations that must follow the death of a loved one. The book includes guidance for many powerful practices, making this an essential reference for Tibetan Buddhist practitioners, caregivers, hospice workers, and chaplains. This new edition has been restructured to make it easier for the reader to navigate and find which of 87 total practices they need, when they need it.
