“Driven on by the profound, great iron goad
of strongly motivated good wishes,
I look again and again at basic reality
with gentle, undistracted cultivation
free from hope and from despair.”

HOW MEDITATING ON DEATH AND IMPERMANENCE CAN ENRICH OUR LIVES

We’re honored to share HOW TO LIVE AND DIE: THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF MEDITATING ON IMPERMANENCE by Lama Zopa Rinpoche—an illuminating guide to one of Buddhism’s most profound practices. Today is the FINAL DAY to receive 20% off with code HLD20, only at Wisdom.

There is arguably no truth more foundational to Buddhism than this: everything is impermanent. We see it everywhere—old systems break down, relationships shift, loved ones pass away. Death comes for those we love and, inevitably, for us. In this authoritative account of one of the most important practices in Tibetan Buddhism, Lama Zopa shows us how meditating on death and impermanence can free us from fear, deepen our wisdom, and transform the way we live. Instead of turning away from this reality, we meet it directly, and in doing so, we learn not only how to not fear death, but how to truly live.

“Ultimately, the reason why love and compassion bring the greatest happiness is simply that our nature cherishes them above all else.

However capable and skillful an individual may be, left alone, he or she will not survive.

However vigorous and independent we may feel during the most prosperous periods of life, when we are sick, or very young or very old, we depend on the support of others.”

—His Holiness the Dalai Lama in The Compassionate Life

“Do not cling to any one thing. Nothing is it, so do not judge and criticize. No intellectual concepts are valid, so do not presume.”

“When we can observe the unfolding interaction of conditioned psycho-physical processes without converting present experience into a personal story, we will avoid the cascade of habitual reactions that serve as the building blocks for the concept of self.”
