Weaving together material from many sources, this collection provides a context for understanding death--whether our own or a loved one's--and experiencing it with awareness and equanimity. It features passages from the Pali texts, writings of S. N. Goenka, poems, theoretical expositions, a question-and-answer section, and compelling essays by or about meditators confronting the end of life. With humility, tenderness, and often a smile, they learn to accept their own impermanence, suffering, and nself. Much of this material was collected from the archives of the 'International Vipassana Newsletter'.
