How We Live Is How We Die
Experience the profound wisdom of Pema Chödrön in How We Live Is How We Die, a seminal work that guides readers through the ebb and flow of life's inevitable transitions. This book offers an enlightening perspective on the continuous cycle of endings and beginnings, helping you navigate through life with greater ease and compassion. From the conclusion of a breath to the finality of a day, the end of a relationship, and ultimately, the end of life, Chödrön provides invaluable insights into embracing change.
New in paperback, How We Live Is How We Die is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the fabric of existence and to live more freely in the face of uncertainty. Pema Chödrön, a revered Buddhist nun and the bestselling author of When Things Fall Apart, brings her trademark warmth and clarity to this profound subject.
Chödrön's teachings delve deep into the concept of bardos, a Tibetan term that describes the state of transition between life and death, as well as smaller transitions in our daily lives. She reveals how these periods of change, although often accompanied by fear and discomfort, can be transformative gateways to spiritual awakening and love. By providing practical methods for dealing with challenging emotions, Chödrön guides readers to convert uncertainty into an opportunity for growth and compassion.
For readers of all ages, this book offers lessons that are applicable at each moment of our lives. Chödrön masterfully illustrates how embracing the natural flow of life, with all its unpredictability, can lead to a freer, more courageous existence. Her teachings emphasise that the freedom we cultivate within ourselves while living will ultimately prepare us to face our end—and whatever lies beyond—with openness rather than fear.
In essence, How We Live Is How We Die is a master course in living fully and compassionately amid the ever-present shadow of death and change. It encourages readers to find peace in the transient nature of existence, enabling them to approach life—and its inevitable conclusion—with curiosity and bravery.
