The Zen of Living and Dying by Philip Kapleau

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.

Three Pillars of Zen, by Philip Kapleau, has sold over 500 thousand copies worldwide. Awakening to Zen, Zen: Integrating East and West, The Cycle of Life and Death, and The Zen of Living and Dying are among his works. Kapleau was the first Westerner to receive the roshi ordination. In 1966, he founded the Rochester Zen Center. He is a resident of Rochester, New York.
