With the right perspective, our anxiety around sickness, old age, and death can be a "wholesome fear"--a fear with a positive quality that ultimately enriches and nourishes our lives. Lama Zopa Rinpoche shows us how we can use our anxiety as a high-octane fuel to really live what's most important. Alongside Rinpoche's teachings, Kathleen McDonald presents meditations that lead to peace, compassion, and joy for ourselves and others. Approaching our physical realities in this way will help us to live well and, when the time comes as it inevitably will, to die well too. It's never too early to start making this most important of efforts--and, fortunately, it is never too late. An essential guide for anyone confronting the challenges of death and dying, Wholesome Fear serves as a reminder of the gift and truth of impermanence.
Wholesome Fear:transforming your anxiety about Impermanence and Death by Lana Zopa Rinpoche
Published by Susan brady , 4 years ago
This book is comforting and reading it is like one is sitting with Lama Zopa. I bought this as I was diagnosed with cancer, and I realized I may die. I wanted to bring some peace to my children. I had been reading Lama Zopa’s Ultimate Healing to chant for every person I met on this journey. My denial about my own impermanence and my own fear and wanting to help my children lead me to these precious book. The forward by Kathleen McDonald is beautifully and poetically written. This book brings peace
