About this listen

We try not to think about death, often until it's we have no choice. A loved one begins to pass, or we receive a difficult diagnosis from the doctor. In the Buddhist teachings, death is the ultimate opportunity for profound spiritual transformation. Join Author and teacher Kirsten Deleo as we explore how to best take care of ourselves and our loved ones during this important time of transition, whether Buddhist practitioners or not.

Kirsten DeLeo is a long time Tibetan Buddhist practitioner, meditation teacher and author of "Present Through The End. A Caring Companion's Guide for Accompanying the Dying."

Kirsten pioneered one of the first training programs in contemplative end-of-life care called 'Authentic Presence'. She currently supports the development of Buddhist chaplaincy in Europe. Kirsten lives near Dzogchen Beara, a Buddhist Meditation Centre in the West of Ireland where she teaches and also supports people faced with a terminal illness or loss.
