In this powerful talk from 1992, Ram Dass explores:

• Working with death and dying as a spiritual practice, and how it helps keep him at his own leading edge of consciousness
• How the process of learning to live simultaneously on more than one plane of consciousness is the path to dealing with death, dying, and suffering in a more spacious manner
• How two levels of love – conscious love and relational love – come into play when dealing with death, and why compassion is truly the sword of discrimination
• How we can honor diversity by sharing our pain together and grieving our way into unity

“It’s taken me a long time to learn the way in which compassion is not fuzzy-wuzzy stuff, compassion is the sword of discrimination.” – Ram Dass
