Three Gentle Shifts Toward a Buddhist-Inspired Lifestyle

Death as a Teacher: A Buddhist’s Reflection on Dying and Returning
Recently, I joined a podcast to speak about death. (If you understand Swedish you can listen to it here. ) Both symbolically and philosophically. But primarily—as the inescapable fact it is. It’s not a subject I shy away from. In my world, death is a companion, not a threat. I’ve sat with people who wereContinue reading “Death as a Teacher: A Buddhist’s Reflection on Dying and Returning”
