Description

Deathis a subject obscured by fear and denial. When we do think of dying, we aremore often concerned with how to avoid the pain and suffering that mayaccompany our death than we are with really confronting the meaning of deathand how to approach it. Sushila Blackman places death—and life—in a truerperspective, by telling us of others who have left this world with dignity. GracefulExitsoffers valuable guidance in the form of 108 stories recounting the ways inwhich Hindu, Tibetan Buddhist, and Zen masters, both ancient and modern, haveconfronted their own deaths. By directly presenting the grace, clarity, andeven humor with which great spiritual teachers have met the end of their days,Blackman provides inspiration and nourishment to anyone truly concerned withthe fundamental issues of life and death.
