Praise for Mindfully Facing Disease and Death: 'These teachings invite us to integrate their guidance directly into the laboratory of our own meditation practice and life, in the spirit of deepinvestigation and inquiry. As committed meditation practitioners know first hand, there is no more worthy or meaningful introspective undertaking in the world, nor a more difficult challenge for human beings to adopt and sustain throughout life.' - From the Foreword, Jon Kabat-Zinn 'An invaluable and extraordinary resource on the profound teachings by the Buddha on dying, death, and grieving. Bhikkhu Analayo has given a great gift to all of us by bringing together in this book the compassionate wisdom of the Buddha on our mortality.' - Roshi Joan Halifax 'This is an indispensable book for serious students of Buddhism. It has the potential to transform the lives of everyone who reads it.' - Toni Bernhard
