Endings occur in every moment, whether it’s the end of a breath, the close of a day, the conclusion of a relationship, or ultimately, the end of life. With each ending comes a new beginning, even if it’s uncertain what that beginning will bring. In "How We Live Is How We Die," Pema Chödrön shares her insights on navigating the flow of life. She teaches us how to live with ease, joy, and compassion amidst uncertainty, embracing new beginnings and preparing for death with curiosity and openness rather than fear.
Her teachings, poignant for readers of all ages, focus on the bardos—a Tibetan term for a transitional state that includes what happens between this life and the next. Chödrön's wisdom reveals the power and relevance of these teachings at every moment in our lives. She also provides practical methods for transforming life’s most challenging emotions surrounding change and uncertainty into a pathway of awakening and love.
