520 _a"For years Lama Zopa Rinpoche has envisioned a practical book to inform students of how to help loved ones have a beneficial death. How to Enjoy Death has been compiled from years of Rinpoche's teachings and has been lovingly edited by Venerable Robina Courtin. Here Lama Zopa Rinpoche provides detailed advice on how best to prepare ourselves to face the inevitable end of our own and our loved ones' lives with courage, grace, and a mind free of fear. With great care, Rinpoche explains what to do in the months, weeks, and days that precede death, as well as how to handle the moment itself, and the mantras, prayers, and meditations that must follow the death of a loved one. The practices one needs to be prepared to face death are handily included between the covers of this thoroughly pragmatic volume, making this an essential reference for Tibetan Buddhist practitioners, caregivers, hospice workers, or chaplains. This new edition has been restructured to make it easier for the reader to navigate and find which of 78 total practices they need, when they need it. It addresses diverse scenarios, such as sudden death and organ donation, and it gives adaptations in the cases of the death of meditators, of non-Buddhists, and of beloved pets. Those who are confused or at a loss at the prospect of a loved one's impending death will find in this book deep solace, with its wealth of rituals for making the ultimate transition a time of joy and meaning"--
