Disease and death are undeniably integral parts of human life. Yet
when they manifest we are easily caught unprepared. To prepare for
these, we need to learn how to skilfully face illness and passing
away. A source of practical wisdom can be found in the early
discourses that record the teachings given by the Buddha and his
disciples.The chief aim of this book is to provide a collection of
passages taken from the Buddha's early discourses that provide
guidance for facing disease and death. The present anthology
focuses on the theme of compassion, and is concerned with anukampa:
compassion as the underlying motivation in altruistic action. The
book combines translations of Buddhist Sanskrit discourse from the
Chinese original, with introductions that explain the basic
message, clarify terminology and ideas contained in the discourse,
and draw out some of their practical implications.
