Posted by amylenzo on Oct. 4, 2013, 6:37 p.m.
This book is a wise and witty jaunt through the ways death is viewed in popular culture through the movies. The authors bring their own deep spiritual practice to the narrative, so their insights are grounded and perceptive. They focus particularly on what Buddhists call the bardo - or transition between life and death, which can show up while we are still alive as a kind of "gap" between states, or moments of uncertainty. Relevant and useful to any thought process around death.
