Bøger af Philip Kapleau

Examines death through the eyes of great Buddhist, Taoist, Hindu and Western masters. This book contains instructions and specific rites to enable people to guide the mind of the dying through death and the Intermediate stage which follows. It includes sections on Rebirth and Karma dealing with these complex and often mis-understood doctrines.

To live life fully and die serenely-surely we all share these goals, so inextricably entwined. Yet a spiritual dimension is too often lacking in the attitudes, circumstances, and rites of death in modern society. Kapleau explores the subject of death and dying on a deeply personal level, interweaving the writings of Western religions with insights from his own Zen practice, and offers practical advice for the dying and their families.
