Coming to terms with the loss of a loved one is one of life's major challenges. In Living Without Regret, Arnaud Maitland, a longtime practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism, reveals how his grief over the loss of his mother, who died of Alzheimer's, deepened his ability to apply the Buddhist teachings in his own life. The poignant account leads us through turbulent emotions such as feelings of helplessness, guilt, anger, confusion, despair, and fear, while grounding the personal narrative in a larger framework of Buddhist teachings on impermanence, suffering, and the development of wisdom and compassion.
It is never too late to heal the past: We can inhabit and transform even the most difficult life situations, including death and our own seemingly fatal mistakes. The wisdom of the Buddhist teachings helps us to strengthen awareness and develop our inner resources. The author encourages readers to reflect on their own lives, and learn to face challenges as they arise.
