In a world where crises happen every day, living through disaster and with trauma are frighteningly common human experiences. Caregivers grapple with the crises of their own lives even as they seek to help those actively experiencing crisis and disaster in the present moment.... This book is essential reading; from foundational chapters on dealing with personal loss to wide-scale disasters to very specific situations like the ICU-no matter their circumstance, every caregiver can benefit from each piece. -Monica Sanford, assistant dean of Multireligious Ministry at Harvard University and author of Kalyanamitra Refuge in the Storm is a timely and precious anthology of experienced Buddhist psychologists, chaplains, counselors, and other voices from around the world.... [the essays are] accessible and practical resources for those providing care today to continue their work as bodhisattvas based on the wisdom contained in Buddhist texts. This collection of essays is clearly a gift from bodhisattvas to bodhisattvas. -Venerable Juewei, director of the Humanistic Buddhism Center at Nan Tien Institute and ordained in the Fo Guang Shan Buddhist order An accessible, practical, scholarly resource for chaplains and other caregivers. Refuge in the Storm contextualizes what we know about crisis care by integrating psychosocial understandings and Buddhist wisdom in nuanced and generative ways. This is dana of the highest order, a foundational text for the maturing profession of Buddhist chaplaincy. You'll want this in your professional library to refer to over and over. -Duane Bidwell, Center for Health Professions Education, Hebert School of Medicine; author of When One Religion Isn't Enough; and board member at the Society for Buddhist-Christian Studies
