He is such an incredible teacher. He truly just let himself be vulnerable in front of all those people. That is astonishingly rare in this day and age and he should be commended for that. Great dude.
This video was exquisite. Courtney's questions were so light, open-ended and informative. But Frank's comments opened my heart to supporting my husband who has had 2 strokes. When I get impatient at "wishing for his wholeness" I want to instead focus on "discovery" - of looking at spilled liquids and broken glasses s clean-up to thinking about an entire new and loving experience. How can his and my relationship come closer together in love than feeling myself close-off! Thank you Frank.
What a beautiful human being Frank Ostaseski is. I'm so sorry I have only just met him through an interview he did with Tara Brach, 7 years ago, and I only viewed last night. I wish him peace within , I hope he feels safe and that he is filled with the awareness of how much love he has given and how loved he is, even by those of us who have never met him in person and had the pleasure of knowing him personally. I'm filled with sadness and gratitude and will hold him in my thoughts and heart. He has touched me as so many others have since discovering Tara...Jack, Joseph, Rick, Jonathan, and now Frank. I have been blessed.
Frank's vulnerability drew me in and I think I was different when I came out. Thank you for all you have done to make the world a better place. You have made a difference in so many people's lives.
Watching this from Brazil, South America. Feeling extremelly vulnerable , with the Pandemics and the way the problem has been treated here. Also feel connected to this vision of learning from this vulnerability. Grateful to the internet, grateful for you to be there saying all that, Frank.
Dear Frank, I truly thankful to you the ways you has had shared us your constructive experience you spent time for the dying. It is not easy to see and feel their weakness but we can only provide them with direct communication, love, comfort at their last hours of their life. Been as NODA volunteer myself in our hospice community, I found true self of myself, same time I really able to see their fears through my eye contact with them. I pray to your well being, may God bless you always.
Vulnerability IS a risk but done mindfully it’s the most powerful and rewarding risk. Openness is a risk but it is a powerful state where the risk is greater and cultivates greater love.
So greatful! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! You know, you played an important role in my master's thesis about Music Therapy and Palliative Care and the possibility of growth. Love from Switzerland!
Sitting with the dying being, of course, the gift of presence, Frank Ostaseski created a hospice inside the San Francisco Zen Center. He's thought deeply about living and dying, and here he speaks with true vulnerability - which we learn is what happens when you express *before* you have your story - about the consequences of his recent stroke, what lies ahead, why vulnerability requires the kind of permeability that also lets in love, and what it means to have the heart of a warrior. I met Mr. Ostaseski in Berkeley when he was speaking about his sage book, "The Five Invitations: Discovering What Death Can Teach Us About Living Fully": amzn.to/3tVULVc. This 17-minute video is a moving and empowering glimpse of a true master (who since this talk has had to cancel upcoming appearances) as he comes to accept the lessons of the end of life. Learn from this. It's pure wisdom.

Wow. From whisper to EXCLAMATION.! You are alive.
