An intimate dialogue between two friends and luminaries on love,
death, and the spiritual path, with guidance for the end-of-life
journey
We all sit on the edge of a mystery. We have only known this life, so
dying scares us--and we are all dying. But what if dying is perfectly
safe? What would it look like if you could approach dying with curiosity
and love, in service of other beings? What if dying is the ultimate
spiritual practice?
Ram Dass and Mirabai Bush began their friendship more than four decades
ago at the foot of their guru, Neem Karoli Baba, also known as
Maharaj-ji. He transmitted to them a simple philosophy: love everyone,
tell the truth, and give up attachment to material things. A year before
Ram Dass passed, he reunited with Bush for an intimate dialogue--which
became Walking Each Other Home.
In this extraordinary book, you'll hear from two beloved teachers about
the spiritual opportunities within the dying process. They generously
share intimate personal experiences and timeless practices with courage,
humor, and heart, gently exploring every aspect of this journey. Here
you'll learn about guidelines for being a "loving rock" for the dying,
how to grieve fully and authentically, how to transform a fear of death,
leaving a spiritual legacy, creating a sacred space for dying, and much
more.
"Everybody you have ever loved is a part of the fabric of your being
now," says Ram Dass. The body may die, but the soul remains. Death is an
invitation to a new kind of relationship, in the place where we are all
One. Join these two lifelong friends and spiritual luminaries as they
explore what it means to live and die consciously, remember who we
really are, and illuminate the path we walk together.
