As much as we might try to resist, endings happen in every moment—the end of a breath, the end of a day, the end of a relationship, and ultimately the end of life. And accompanying each ending is a beginning, though it may be unclear what the beginning holds. In How We Live Is How We Die, Pema Chödrön shares her wisdom for working with this flow of life—learning to live with ease, joy, and compassion through uncertainty, embracing new beginnings, and ultimately preparing for death with curiosity and openness rather than fear.

Story
Just as the archetypal hero possesses the heart to face trials and tribulations for the sake of helping others, the bodhisattva has a remarkable resolve to free others from suffering so that all may achieve true happiness and awakening. Through each challenge, the Buddhist hero of compassion develops rich inner qualities that empower them to be of true benefit to others.

Publisher's Summary
A rare, intimate account of a world-renowned Buddhist monk’s near-death experience and the life-changing wisdom he gained from it
“One of the most inspiring books I have ever read.” (Pema Chödrön, author of When Things Fall Apart)
“This book has the potential to change the reader’s life forever.” (George Saunders, author of Lincoln in the Bardo)
At 36 years old, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche was a rising star within his generation of Tibetan masters and the respected abbot of three monasteries. Then one night, telling no one, he slipped out of his monastery in India with the intention of spending the next four years on a wandering retreat, following the ancient practice of holy mendicants. His goal was to throw off his titles and roles in order to explore the deepest aspects of his being.
He immediately discovered that a lifetime of Buddhist education and practice had not prepared him to deal with dirty fellow travelers or the screeching of a railway car. He found he was too attached to his identity as a monk to remove his robes right away or to sleep on the Varanasi station floor, and instead paid for a bed in a cheap hostel. But when he ran out of money, he began his life as an itinerant beggar in earnest. Soon he became deathly ill from food poisoning - and his journey took a startling turn. His meditation practice had prepared him to face death, and now he had the opportunity to test the strength of his training.
In this powerful and unusually candid account of the inner life of a Buddhist master, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche offers us the invaluable lessons he learned from his near-death experience. By sharing with listeners the meditation practices that sustain him, he shows us how we can transform our fear of dying into joyful living.
Praise for In Love with the World:
“Vivid, compelling... This book is a rarity in spiritual literature: Reading the intimate story of this wise and devoted Buddhist monk directly infuses our own transformational journey with fresh meaning, luminosity, and life.” (Tara Brach, author of Radical Acceptance and True Refuge)
“In Love with the World is a magnificent story - moving and inspiring, profound and utterly human. It will certainly be a dharma classic.” (Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart)
“This book makes me think enlightenment is possible.” (Russell Brand)
What the critics say
"With this book, we enter into the interior life of a remarkable young Buddhist teacher. After setting off by himself on a wandering retreat, he immediately encounters fear, aversion, sickness, and near death. Yet the same emotional and physical difficulties that would throw the average person for a loop become opportunities for Mingyur Rinpoche to work with his mind, and to deepen his commitment to transforming adversity into awakening. His willingness to describe this process in such intimate detail has been an immense help to my own path, and makes this one of the most inspiring books I have ever read.” (Pema Chödrön, author of When Things Fall Apart)
“Readers seeking a deep exploration of Buddhist philosophy will be richly rewarded by Rinpoche’s thought-provoking and ultimately inspiring story.” (Library Journal)
“Part thriller, part deeply personal autobiography, and part Buddhist teachings on how to live a meaningful life, this is an extraordinary book. It has something profoundly important to teach each of us.” (Richard J. Davidson, author of The Emotional Life of Your Brain)

Life changing advice
I generally don’t say this about most ‘Dharma’ books but Mingyur Rinpoche’s deeply personal journey intertwined with the essential aspects of the Buddhist teachings is, at least for a beginner - life and mind changing. Thank you for this gift of Dharma Rinpoche.

A relatable adventure through the mind
This book was recommended to me by someone else in my sangha to help me with the loss of a friend. I wasn't sure what to expect but I am very happy to have read this. The chapters have a lot of relatable moments of judgments or reassessing our own thoughts. The last portion of the book was a very interesting deep dive into death. I'm not really sure how to describe it's impact on me, so I will just say I highly recommend reading it.

Great book, poor reading
It hurts me to give this book only three stars. The book itself is excellent but the narration is very poor. It’s not that the reading is bad, per se, it’s just that the tone is all wrong. Some of the material is incredibly profound, but the narrator reads it as if he is reading The Hungry Caterpillar. It is jarring and makes the book hard to stick with.

Trustafarian recounts his weekend trip?
Tried hard to get into this but kept having the feeling I was listening to a privileged public school boy playing at homelessness on their year out trip to India.
Reminded me too much of going to Goa in my 20's
Now of course I'm not qualified to judge the experiences of recognized Tulkus. So it's probably just my deluded mind.
But it's easy to walk away from things when you know there is a safety net to catch you when you change your mind.
