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.

Reviews for The Zen of Living and Dying: A Practical and Spiritual Guide

&quot;Kapleau has created a profound and practical book that will appeal to people of all religious backgrounds.&quot;&#8212; Branches of Light <br>&quot;This is an important and profoundly useful guide for living and dying, reflecting the long experience and realization of the esteemed Zen Buddhist elder Roshi Kapleau. Offering a nonsectarian perspective on being with dying, this clearly written book makes death a truly spiritual experience.&quot;&#8212;Joan Halifax, author of The Fruitful Darkness <br> &quot; Philip Kapleau's fine book expands on his seminal work The Wheel of Life and Death, which has supported so many in the early search for the sources of what became the conscious dying movement. It is with a deep gassbo (bow) that we welcome this new work by an elder on the path we all tread. Thank you Philip.&quot;&#8212;Stephen Levince, author of Gradual Awakening and A Year to Live: How to Live This Year As If It Were Your Last <br>&quot;Kapleau draws so effect
