“Death is a difficult topic, but thinking about it is so worthwhile. Understanding death will transform how we live. We will instinctively know what’s important and what’s not. We will want to cultivate qualities that will make us blossom spirtually and radiate peace and joy for all–and not just in this life, but also in the infinite future.”

—Tulku Thondup Rinpoche in an article called “Living Death,” in the May issue of Alternative Medicine: The Art and Science of Healthy Living.
