5.0 out of 5 stars Advice on graceful leaving this world., 11 Nov 2002
By M. Byram (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In our Western Society death is either sanitised or often in the case of our own conveniently ignored. Sushila Blackman has put together an excellent compilation of stories from Eastern Spiritual Traditions were death is fully experienced and often welcomed.

Blackman takes true stories from Tibetan Buddhist, Hindu, Zen and other great Masters to give Westerners a flavour of how death can be viewed very differently. These Masters have died with grace and dignity often controlling the time of their death to help their followers learn to do the same. As a reader I felt very privileged to read these accounts and remove some of the fear of my own appointment with the inevitable.

I cannot recommend this book strongly enough as the death of both our loved ones and our own is whilst certain, still often unpredictable. I am sure you would agree it is better to meet our Maker with a welcoming smile departing from this world gracefully, rather than in a blind panic with the eternal question of did we switch the gas off !
