Learn to use your later years for awakening and spiritual growth. Encouraging, inspiring, and practical, The Grace in Aging invites all those who have ever experienced spiritual longing to awaken in their twilight years. Since aging, in and of itself, does not lead to spiritual maturity, The Grace in Aging suggests and explores causes and conditions that we can create in our lives, just as we are living them, to allow awakening to unfold--transforming the predictable sufferings of aging into profound opportunities for growth in clarity, love, compassion, and peace.

An invitation to everyday mystics: unbind yourself from the causes of suffering and step into grace. “We all want the freedom of sanity and peace, the undefended inclusiveness of love. We all want refuge in grace.” —Kathleen Dowling Singh, from her introduction to Unbinding Unbinding is a spacious and sophisticated unfolding of one of Buddhism’s subtlest foundational teachings—the truth of dependent origination—offered in an utterly intimate voice. Kathleen Dowling Singh offers lyrical reflections on timeless truths and contemplative exercises accessible to anyone, opening the door of insight to all. Drawing on the language and teachings of Buddhism, Unbinding invites everyday mystics from all traditions—or none—to encounter the sacred and experience grace firsthand. Singh shows how illusions of ego obscure our true, unbounded nature and trap us in suffering—as she helps the reader move ever more deeply into living from gratitude, wisdom, and love.

Kniha Milost v umírání nabízí důležitý náhled na transformace, k nimž dochází při umírání. Náhled, který zatím nebyl jasně vysvětlen jazykem dnešní doby. To byl jeden z autorčiných cílů – podělit se o pozorování jemných dimenzí a hlubokých transformací, s nimiž se setkáváme v blízkosti smrti, jazykem rozvíjející se moudrosti Západu. Jejím záměrem při psaní bylo zpřístupnit tento pohled co nejvíce lidem, ať už slyšeli o psychospirituální transformaci nebo ne. Snažila se zachovat výklad co nejpřesněji, ovšem tak, aby byl zároveň přístupný široké veřejnosti.
