Sitting With Death: Buddhist Insights to Help You Face Your Fears and Live a Peaceful Life Margaret Meloni

What is dealing with death like for others? Specifically, what is this like for other Buddhists? Do Buddhist spiritual teachers have the magic no suffering wand?




These questions began Margaret Meloni's quest to seek out Buddhist spiritual teachers to discuss death after her own experience with loss. Twelve wonderful wise teachers answered her call and, in doing so, they also reached out to you and answered your questions on the following topics:


Loss of a ParentLoss of a SpouseMeditation and GriefOvercoming RegretHow to Help Others Through GriefLove and AttachmentHow to Accept Sadness and JoyHow to Get Beyond Fear and Anxiety



This book will help you use Buddhist teachings to include death in your own spiritual practice. In bringing curiosity and an open heart, you can train for the death of your loved ones and, as a result, you will live more fully, with more compassion for others, and more peace for yourself.




The teachings of twelve Buddhist teachers, along with Margaret's own experience with death, are here waiting for you and seeking to show you their versions of Death Dhamma.
