Every person who has ever lived has died or will, and many suffer from being old or sick or both on the way. This book has been my guide and comfort in understanding this and making life better for me and others in difficult circumstances. It has hugely enriched my life and helped me deal with death and sickness of relatives and friends and people I love living in places of refuge. life would be poorer without access to this profound book. It is a surprisingly easy, uplifting and inspiring read.
