Description
With a Foreword by Sogyal Rinpoche
Christine Longaker's experience with death and care of the dying began in 1976 when her husband was diagnosed with acute leukemia at the age of twenty-four. Since his death, she has devoted her life to ease the suffering of those facing death. In Facing Death and Finding Hope, she clearly and compassionately identifies the typical fears and struggles experienced by the dying and their families. The core of this book is presented in "Four Tasks of Living and Dying," using the Tibetan Buddhist perspective on death to provide a new framework of meaning. A book of great depth and grace, it is destined to become a classic in the literature on death and dying.

你不知道的，夢都知道
By 安靜本書故事的一個大主題，是「失去」。 夢和潛意識能否呈現出一個人的命運？命運，是可以逆轉的嗎？還是不可逆轉的呢？在不同的宗教或神秘學中，夢境的修煉都不約而同被視為一種高階的密法。在夢境呈現出來的意象之中，我們能夠看懂每個人獨特的生命流動的軌跡，前進與退路均有跡可尋。 有些生命中特別難纏的痛苦，例如詛咒般的厄運、不能自控的寂寞、無法令人理解的執?、明知不該留戀卻無法抽身的情感等，當中印記了當事人自身潛意識的許多設定、家族中的一些牽連關係，以及自身命運的路線圖等。 在很多無法找到路、或要去某個地方卻總是去不到的夢中，很多人會說是「前路不通」，但在治療師眼中看見的，卻是「執?無用」。心中的痛苦與思念雖然伴隨?我們一直前行，但在人生某些重要的時刻，例如疾病、失業、喪親、失戀、移民等等不同的變化中，這些生命中刻下的印記往往突然浮現，假如我們能正面面對，加以治療，則會對生命的轉化產生強大的效果，人生的路線也會由黑暗改成光明的道路。但願這本書�堛漪G事，可以幫助那些面對「失去」的人們，或迷惘之中的人們，帶來有用的參照。
