The Joy of Living and Dying in Peace underscores the importance of "practice" of awareness through meditation compassion patience and effort in lending rich and joyous meaning to this lifetime and so to our passage to the next. His Holiness the Dalai Lama offers his thoughts on achieving a meaningful life and death. At the heart of his eloquent presentation is this lesson: by cultivating compassion wisdom and positive thought and action in short by living a good life we can approach death without fear or regret and welcome our passage and rebirth.
