This may well be the most important post I have ever shared. Very clear explanation of the Buddhist teachings which are relevant to our times. If you can listen to just the first 30 minutes you will get the gist of the teachings that we impart in our book Caregiver Revolution:
- as much as possible maintain an undisturbed positive atmosphere at the deathbed
- use the reminder that some day you will be dying to keep a positive compassionate mental framework while you’re alive and able to practice.
Finally, and most importantly, don’t stress. As caregivers we are often concerned that we have to do things perfectly, but we don’t have to! Just a little mindfulness, a tiny bit more relaxation about the situation, a touch of humor and we are on our way…
