Details:
The Dalai Lama performs a dying meditation everyday. It enables him to embrace life to the fullest, while cultivating his spiritual practice. He is not alone.
While death and dying remain, for the most part, taboo subjects in our society, a growing number of people are starting to allow themselves to confront their mortality, just like the Dalai Lama. Ironically, the result is an unexpected appreciation for the preciousness of life. Graceful Passages is a Book and CD set that helps listeners address their mortality and, in turn, live each day to the fullest.
