Death Is Not an Outrage

Death Is Not an Outrage Ram Dass Presented live before a group of hospice workers and other care-givers, Death Is Not an Outrage takes us to the borderland of our spirituality to portray how dying is a means of spiritual awakening. Ram Dass offers precious teaching stories and personal moments from his own life odyssey that address great questions skillfully and with humor. While warning against ignoring the spiritual dimension of hospice work, Ram Dass encourages every listener to awaken to the divine "spirit behind all form." For the love - the wisdom - the gentle humor - and the important healing tools it offers, Death Is Not an Outrage is to be cherished and passed along to friends and families in need. Highly recommended for counselors and other caregivers.
