Zen Hospice Project, 2003. 3 audio tapes & accompanying leaflet in original vinyl case. Being A Compassionate Companion offers us a mirror and encourages us to make contact with the precarious and precious nature of our lives. It shows us how to draw on our innate wisdom, compassion and generosity to assist the journey of continuous discovery that begins with the diagnosis of a life-threatening illness. In an intimate conversational style, Frank shares deeply moving stories from 20 years of caring for the dying. He draws on Buddhist teachings that have informed this work and gives the listener practical tools. The three part audio series is structured on the themes of preparing, serving and grieving. It will be profoundly useful to those accompanying someone facing death, those coming to terms with loss and to anyone wishing to open fully to life. Divided into three parts, this audio series is dedicated to the practice of compassionate companionship. It offers practices, reminders, and stories gathered from Frank Ostaseski's 20 years of experience being with death and dying. In addition, the series offers listeners support in preparing for death, serving the dying, and grieving. Part 1: Preparing: In this first part we see why every spiritual tradition speaks to us of keeping death as our advisor, our mentor in opening fully to life. We examine our own responses to the impermanent nature of things and in recognizing the precarious nature of life, we also come to appreciate its preciousness. Frank shares Zen Hospice’s Five Precepts of Hospice Care to develop practical presence at the bedside. This section ends with a guided meditation using the Five Precepts. Part 2: Serving: examines the mutuality of service and the crucial difference between helping and serving. We see how the true definition of compassion—‘suffering with others’ —allows us to serve from our whole self and leaves us with a feeling of profound gratitude. Frank discusses ways to provide spiritual support that can provide a return to wholeness, a healing even though there may be no cure. These include ways to encourage refection and life review as well as a powerful Forgiveness Meditation. Part 3: Grieving: Frank navigates an intimate walk across the landscape of grieving, giving us the confidence to develop a relationship to it rather than ‘getting over it’’ or resisting it. In part III, We see how grief is the common ground of our humanity and are encouraged to acceptance each stage of grief, giving practical advice for the process he characterizes as ‘loss, losing and loosening’. In a guided meditation on the loss of a loved one we explore how healing can be possible by moving toward suffering and surrendering to grief. . Very Good. (more information)
