Synopsis
Dr. Barry Kerzin bridges East and West in a unique way. He is a western-trained doctor who went to Tibet on an intended six-month trip in 1988 to learn more about Buddhism, but he ended up staying much longer. Dr. Kerzin was ordained as Buddhist monk in 2007. After his ordination, he began traveling and teaching about the interface between modern medical science and Buddhist psychology and philosophy, with particular reference to altruism in medicine and secular ethics as well as compassion, wisdom, meditation, death and dying and emotional hygiene; he has also participated in neuroscience research on the effect of meditation on the brain.
No Fear – No Death: The Transformative Power of Compassion is Dr. Kerzin's first book and brings together his insights on the essential teachings for living a life of happiness, compassion, and service. This small book contains rich ideas and simple suggestions for living well along with profound insights on living and dying well. No Fear - No Death includes a Foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
