Margaret Meloni is a businessperson, Buddhist practitioner, and advocate for what she calls Death Dhamma. The practice of inviting the awareness of death into your life. She has seen how Buddhism, combined with a healthy respect for the Grim Reaper, has helped her create a life with more peace and less suffering. She is also a podcaster and author.

In this episode we discussed:

• Accepting death as an essential part of life
• The Buddhist's outlook on suffering
• Margaret's new book Sitting With Death: Buddhist Insights to Help You Face Your Fears and Live a Peaceful Life 

"I'm not saying don't believe in miracles, but I'm also saying accept the reality of what you're being told. Because if you want to keep thinking that some miracle will come and that your loved one is not going to die...that's a form of aversion and you're going to suffer more if you keep waiting for something to happen to save them from their death." - Margaret Meloni
