Refuge in the Storm presents a wide range of Buddhist perspectives on crisis care. Written by experienced chaplains, spiritual teachers, psychotherapists, pastoral counselors, medical providers, and scholars, the essays in this timely anthology explore a spectrum of personal and global crises: climate chaos, COVID, natural disasters, racism, social inequity, illness, and dying.
Drawing on Buddhist principles and practices, these essays offer a wealth of insights for supporting individuals and communities in crisis as well as preventing fatigue and burnout in care providers. The 24 essays in this anthology show readers how to:
• Provide spiritual companionship to ill, aging, and dying clients
• Infuse crisis care with mindfulness, compassion, prayer, and even playfulness
• Prevent burnout with self-care practices rooted in Buddhist principles
• Develop self-awareness and self-knowledge as a care provider
• Pursue the path of Buddhist chaplaincy
