Is there a spiritual path for those who are fighting incurable diseases?

" . . . While you're alive, enjoy every moment and look deeply to touch your true nature of no birth and no death. That cloud in the sky -- she cannot die, she can only become snow or rain. To be a cloud floating in the sky is beautiful; but to become rain falling on the ground is also beautiful. With that insight, you'll continue without fear. And if in your daily life you can produce beautiful thoughts, beautiful speech, and compassionate actions, you will continue beautifully in the future in many ways. The dissolution of this body is the end of anything. That insight is crucial for true happiness and non-fear." ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
