Living Without Human Experience in Light of Tibetan Buddhism by Arnaud Maitland is a personal reflection on the process of growing old and death in light of Tibetan Buddhist teachings. The author reveals his experience with one of life's major coming to terms with the loss of a loved one. He shares how his grief over the loss of his mother, who died of Alzheimer's disease, deepened his ability to apply the Buddhist teachings in his life and use them to work through feelings of helplessness, anger, confusion, despair, and fear. This personal narrative unfolds in a larger framework of Buddhist teachings on impermanence, suffering, and the development of wisdom and compassion.
