Description
Death and dying are often shrouded in fear and denial. Sushila Blackman offers a more honest perspective by sharing stories of those who have faced their own mortality with dignity. In "Graceful Exits", she presents 108 accounts of how Hindu, Tibetan Buddhist, and Zen masters have confronted death, revealing the clarity and humor with which great spiritual teachers met their end. These stories provide valuable guidance for anyone seeking to understand the meaning of life and death. By directly presenting the experiences of these remarkable individuals, Blackman offers inspiration and nourishment for those who are truly concerned with the fundamental issues of existence. Through her collection, Blackman sheds light on a subject often obscured by fear and uncertainty, providing a unique opportunity for readers to reflect on their own relationship with mortality.
