No Death, No Fear: Comforting Wisdom for Life
About This Book
Drawing on the Buddhist teaching of interbeing and his own near-death experience, Thich Nhat Hanh offers a radical and comforting perspective on death: that neither we nor our loved ones truly die, because nothing comes into being from nothing and nothing passes into nothing. The wave does not die when it recedes; it returns to the water from which it arose. Death is a transformation, not an ending, and recognizing this changes how we live.
What You'll Learn
The nature of a cloud is not destroyed when the cloud becomes rain — it simply takes a different form; the same is true of consciousness. The practice of looking deeply at the nature of birth and death reveals that both are conceptual impositions on a reality that is actually continuous transformation. Grief is not the problem — the lack of understanding of the nature of impermanence and continuation is the source of grief.
