This descriptive article discusses the development, delivery, and impact of the "Biography Project". The project is a research and teaching initiative focused on both enhancing the quality of life of older persons, and providing university students across diverse degree programs the opportunity to learn about and engage first-hand with the challenges that confront older adults living in residential aged care. In accounting for the project and its objectives, the article explores the Buddhist values that underpin the project's approach to teaching, and the important role of spirituality in training students to engage older people in telling the stories of their lives
