I have written already about this book previously (with some quotes). It is pretty heavy book, and it took me long time to go through it. Lots of difficult subjects, and I had to think some of the pages over which made the reading even slower. Some topics are inherently difficult, especially around the topics of impermanence and death. However, overall it is worth the effort and it contains a good mixture of thoughts, ideas, traditions and description of metaphors and rituals taken from the Tibetan tradition.

You'll really like the book, I think. The author even talks specifically about what you just mentioned - that Western culture is very uncomfortable with death, and he hopes through the book to increase awareness and the ability to deal with the various aspects of dying, and thus of living. Your last blog post was very bold in addressing the issue so directly, and I'm looking forward to your future posts! Hi Akemi, thanks for dropping by. You’ll really like the book, I think.

It seems the author has a great understanding of Buddhism and Tibetan culture. We are all going to die, and I believe death is a form of transformation. Western culture tries to look away from this fact, and I find it to be very counterproductive. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Akemi "spiritual entrepreneur" @ Yes to Mes last blog post..<a href="http://yes-to-me.com/ideal-death-and-more-on-life-and-death/" rel="nofollow">Ideal Death And More On Life And Death</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> This is a really thorough and insightful book review!

We are all going to die, and I believe death is a form of transformation. Western culture tries to look away from this fact, and I find it to be very counterproductive.
