Synopsis:
A profound exploration of the spiritual dimensions of death and dying. Basing his work on traditional Buddhist wisdom, but weaving in Western ideas, Kapleau shows how we can reframe our relationship with life and death and face the inevitable with dignity.
"Kapleau draws so effectively and knowledgeably on his own and other religious traditions, but in a manner that is earthy, so ordinary, so enmeshed in what real living and dying involve. The book is very accurately subtitled Practical and Spiritual Guide because it is a practical, almost a handbook, not only for dealing with the painful loss of a friend but with the shock of finitude and the taste of mortality such an occurrence inevitably evokes in ourselves. I am deeply grateful for this serene, mature, and credible book. It bespeaks a life spent probing the deep things of the spirit." Harvey Cox, Harvard Divinty School.
"This is an important and profoundly useful guide for living and dying, reflecting the long experience and realization of the esteemed Zen Buddhist elder Roshi Kapleau. Offering a non-sectarian perspective on being with dying, this clearly written book makes death a truly spiritual experience." Joan Halifax. |
