Gracias a los avances de la medicina, nos hemos acostumbrado a negar la presencia de la muerte como parte natural de la vida. De fallecer en el espacio privado de la casa se ha pasado a la parquedad de una camilla de hospital, donde nos encontramos con un sistema de salud poco preparado para guiar emocionalmente al paciente y a sus familiares en este duro proceso. En la lucha por evitar a toda costa la muerte, hemos perdido la capacidad para entenderla y enfrentarla cuando, tarde o temprano, llega la hora. En este libro, el Dr. Elmer Huerta nos brinda una guía básica para prepararnos antes, durante y después del duelo. El lector encontrará una voz que, sin supersticiones ni temores y asentada en información médica y legal actualizada, le ayudará a navegar la llegada de la muerte, a apoyar a los deudos y a tomar decisiones sobre cómo vivir sus últimos días. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Based on the author's professional and personal experience, this short guide will help us, through compassion and scientific evidence, to face our mortality with independence and dignity. Thanks to advances in medicine, we have become accustomed to denying the presence of death as a natural part of life. From dying in the private space of the house, we have gone to the sparsity of a hospital stretcher, where we find a health system poorly prepared to emotionally guide the patient and their families in this difficult process. In the struggle to avoid death at all costs, we have lost the ability to understand it and face it when, sooner or later, the time comes. In this book, Dr. Elmer Huerta gives us a basic guide to prepare before, during, and after grief. The reader will find a voice that, without superstitions or fears and based on up-to-date medical and legal information, will help them navigate the arrival of death, support the bereaved and make decisions about how to live their last days.
Download or read book Vivir plenamente morir bien written by Edward W. Bastian and published by . This book was released on 2010-04-01 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «Vivir plenamente, morir bien, presenta una serie de comentarios sobre el significado de la vida y de la muerte, expuestos por pensadores de las tradiciones orientales y occidentales y que invitan a la reflexión. Estas conversaciones refrescantes están libres de dogmas religiosos y materialistas, y ahondan en asuntos teóricos como la naturaleza de la conciencia y la posibilidad de que haya vida después de la muerte, y seguidamente ofrecen consejos prácticos sobre cómo vivir la vida al máximo, incluyendo la fase final de la existencia que conocemos como muerte. Sin duda, este libro beneficiará a muchos lectores que buscan una mayor realización.» B. ALAN WALLACE, autor de Mind in the Balance: Meditation in Science, Buddhism and Christianity «El hecho de la muerte y el arte de morir son temas sobre los que todos los seres humanos deberíamos reflexionar. Este libro nos ofrece reflexiones desde una perspectiva interconfesional, lo que le aporta un valor excepcional.» KABIR HELMINSKI, autor de The Knowing Heart y Living Presence «¿Es la muerte el último paso? No; es el despertar final.» SIR WALTER SCOTT La mayoría de nosotros evita pensar en la muerte hasta que se encuentra cara a cara con ella. Pero cuando tenemos el coraje de aceptar nuestra mortalidad inevitable, abrimos una puerta que nos permite vivir plenamente y en completa presencia. Vivir plenamente, morir bien examina el reto que cada uno de nosotros tiene que afrontar: abrazar la totalidad de la vida de principio a fin. Cuando se aproxima la muerte sufrimos una profunda transformación: abandonamos las viejas distracciones y nos enfocamos con renovada claridad en lo que da significado a la vida. Vivir plenamente, morir bien se despliega como un diálogo entre líderes espirituales, sanadores y médicos en el que cada uno de ellos aporta una perspectiva única de la experiencia universal y humana de la muerte, y ofrecen sus historias, sus intuiciones y sus prácticas más valiosas: todo ello para hacer que la muerte pase de ser una fuente de miedo a ser una oportunidad de revelar la verdadera riqueza de nuestra vida.

Dirigió una serie de seis programas de televisión de la BBC sobre la religión en India, Bhután y Japón, y produjo tres películas sobre el budismo tibetano.

Download or read book The Failure of Modern Civilization and the Struggle for a deep Alternative written by Claudia von Werlhof and published by Beiträge zur Dissidenz. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western civilization is the Utopia of a better and higher life on Earth. The globalization of neo-liberalism proves that this project has failed. The paradigm of «Critical Theory of Patriarchy» explains this failure and discusses alternatives. By confronting the central civilizations in history, the egalitarian, life-oriented matriarchal one, and the hierarchical, nature and life dominating, hostile patriarchal one, we see that 5000 years of patriarchy have «replaced» matriarchies and nature itself by a «progressive» counter-world of «capital». This transformation characterizes «capitalist patriarchy» including «socialism». Its demise is due to the «alchemical» destruction of the world's resources, thought of, theologically legitimized and fetishized as «creation». This violence is not recognized. Elites have, instead, begun with a new «military alchemy», treating the whole Planet as weapon of mass destruction. Hence, the «Planetary Movement for Mother Earth».

Download or read book The Forbidden written by Benito Pérez Galdós and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-03-26 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benito Pérez Galdós, considered Spain’s most important novelist after Cervantes, wrote 77 novels, several works of theater and a number of other tomes during his lifetime (1843–1920). His works have been translated into all major languages of the world, and many of his most highly regarded novels, those of the contemporary period, have been translated into English two, three and even four times over. Of the few “contemporary novels” of Galdós that until now have not come to light in English, The Forbidden is certainly among the most noteworthy. The story line concerns a wealthy philanderer, José María Bueno de Guzmán, who attempts to buy the favors of his three beautiful married cousins. He is successful with the first, Eloísa, a grasping materialist who falls deeply in love with him. Then he rejects her in order to attempt to seduce the youngest, Camila. Meanwhile, the third, the pseudo-intellectual María Juana, jealous, seduces José María. But it is Camila, healthy, impetuous and wild, who resists his temptations and holds our attention. The novelist and critic Leopoldo Alas, Galdós’s contemporary, calls her “the most feminine, graceful, lively female character that any modern novelist has painted.” As a naturalistic study, in the manner of Balzac in particular, principal characters of Galdós’s other novels (El doctor Centeno, La de Bringas, La familia de León Roch) become fleetingly visible in The Forbidden. In addition, the entire Bueno de Guzmán family gives evidence of the naturalistic emphasis on heredity: they all display certain physical or mental disorders. Eloísa has a morbid fear of feathers, María Juana often feels that she has a tiny piece of cloth caught in her teeth, José María suffers bouts of depression, an uncle is a kleptomaniac, one of the relatives writes letters to himself, etc. At the same time, this novel shows the foibles of Spanish society where status is determined by one’s associates, by the wearing of finery, and by living on borrowed money. In their history of Spanish literature, Chandler and Schwartz call Galdós “the greatest novelist of the nineteenth century and the only one who deserves to be mentioned in the same breath with great novelists like Balzac, Dickens and Dostoievsky.” The Forbidden, written at the height of the author’s creative powers, is a major work and its publication for an English-speaking audience is long overdue.

Book excerpt: "Substantially the book that devotees of the director have been waiting for: a full-length critical work about Ozu's life, career and working methods, buttressed with reproductions of pages from his notebooks and shooting scripts, numerous quotes from co-workers and Japanese critics, a great many stills and an unusually detailed filmography."—Sight and Sound Yasujiro Ozu, the man whom his kinsmen consider the most Japanese for all film directors, had but one major subject, the Japanese family, and but one major theme, its dissolution. The Japanese family in dissolution figures in every one of his fifty-three films. In his later pictures, the whole world exists in one family, the characters are family members rather than members of a society, and the ends of the earth seem no more distant than the outside of the house.
