About this product

Product Information

Death is a subject obscured by fear and denial. When we do think of dying, we are more often concerned with how to avoid the pain and suffering that may accompany our death than we are with really confronting the meaning of death and how to approach it. Sushila Blackman places death--and life--in a truer perspective, by telling us of others who have left this world with dignity. Graceful Exits offers valuable guidance in the form of 108 stories recounting the ways in which Hindu, Tibetan Buddhist, and Zen masters, both ancient and modern, have confronted their own deaths. By directly presenting the grace, clarity, and even humor with which great spiritual teachers have met the end of their days, Blackman provides inspiration and nourishment to anyone truly concerned with the fundamental issues of life and death.

A helpful guide of sorts
Reading the book at this time and finding the passage stories of the spiritual leaders of times gone by interesting. they are listed in short , very short story forms and number about 105. with an after note being a hospice worker this has been interesting for me and part of my part personal journey as preparing for my own transition helps me with the process of others
