The Art of Dying: Talks on Vipassana Meditation as Taught by SN Goenka

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 nonself. Much of this material was collected from the archives of the International Vipassana Newsletter. (Note: This title was previously published under ISBN 9781928706359. Due to technical issues a new ISBN had to be assigned. Rest assured that both versions of this title are exactly the same.)
