Mindfulness is a ticket to go home. It is a ticket to a place where our heart is. It can bring us to a place beyond the limits of our mind. The place is our source, our origin, our root. When we arrive, we feel completely peaceful and truly relaxed. We dont have to do anything. We just be, resting in the nature of our mind, like having a psychological holiday, seeing things as they are, free from conceptualization, judgment, duality. In Mindfulness and Care of the Dying, the author shares his knowledge and experience of mindfulness based on the original teachings of mindfulness from the Satipatthana Sutta and his own research on mindfulness-based supportive therapy. The author hopes to provide a simple manual for medical students, doctors, nurses, and family caregivers to practice mindfulness in their day-to-day life and their work of caring.
