Today I came across this TED video of Ms. Halifax that I wanted to share (and keep for myself so I can return to it for viewing in moments when I feel I've lost touch with compassion!).
By creating an ethical will, you can keep your values, stories, and wisdom alive for future generations. This blog is devoted to sharing of ethical wills and the process of writing these documents which convey the personal legacy of your lifetime.

Life Lessons: Joan Halifax on Compassion
When working as a hospice volunteer, I did lots of reading about death and dying. One of the writers I admired for her work is Joan Halifax, a Buddhist priest. Her latest book is "Being with Dying: Cultivating Compassion and Fearlessness in the Presence of Death."
Today I came across this TED video of Ms. Halifax that I wanted to share (and keep for myself so I can return to it for viewing in moments when I feel I've lost touch with compassion!).
