Download or read book Five Meditations on Death written by François Cheng and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-06-16 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophical discussions on the ways that death makes life meaningful and sacred • Reveals how being conscious of death gives our fate its full meaning, inviting the reader to contemplate life in the light of their own death • Examines the author’s experience of ancestor worship in his native China and the beliefs that underlie it • Explains how death is a transition in a longer living process not visible from the modern “black and white” view of life and death • Translated by award-winning translator Jody Gladding Born from intimate discussions with friends, these five meditations on death from poet-philosopher François Cheng examine the multiple ways the prospect of death significantly shapes life and is, in fact, what makes life meaningful and sacred. Written at the age of 84, in the twilight of life, these meditations each approach the human understanding of death from different yet intertwined perspectives, effortlessly returning to certain themes and ideas, questioning them again more deeply with each passing. The author shows that death is a transition in a longer living process not visible from the modern “black and white” view of life and death. He examines his experience of ancestor worship in his native China and the beliefs that underlies it: Our ancestors are alive in another form, that what is living can never die and what is dead has never lived. Cheng looks at the consequences of a world that has abandoned the sacred and avoids the mention of death, a world now blindly staggering through the chaos it has created, yet which can return to balance if we once again embrace the essential sacredness of life as well as death. Throughout these five heart-baring meditations, Cheng invites us to contemplate life in the light of our own death. He reveals that to be conscious of death gives our fate its full meaning. Our death is an integral part of our great adventure in becoming. For if birth is a seed, then death is the fruit--the final sacred product of a life well lived.

Hall revealed to thousands how universal wisdom could be found in the myths and symbols of the ancient Western mystery teachings. He amassed the largest occult library west of the Mississippi and founded The Philosophical Research Society in 1934 for the purpose of providing seekers rare access to the world's wisdom literature.

Poetry lives on after we turn to stone with epitaphs bestowing our wonders.Grateful I live, reached 60 years this year, working, healthy, sober, fanciful, and deliciously enjoying the journey. Perhaps this is the vacation we planned before we were born, or metaphysical experience we could have no other way, wondering why we are here and what we are supposed to do when the whole point is to experience it to its fullest while trying to live with integrity.Suddenly I find myself exploring the mysteries of life and meditation, that wonderful mindset designed to rejuvenate the soul. Poetry offers such fine glimpses into mysteries, possibilities, room for error when other disciplines are seeking to machine tool everything. Verse frees us from the drudgery and complications of reality.I cannot discipline my brain to write novels. My mind spews out short bursts in poems and paintings, as in life's tasks. Making peace with the way we are is crucial - not the way we'd like to be, or the way other's demand.Let loose, spend some time with me in an easy chair, on a park bench, or enjoy reading in bed. Interesting how the mind sees pictures when reading words. Maybe my paintings will be your pictures. Maybe you'll have your own. Let's delve into some of the mysteries of life, meditating with eyes open, staring into spaces between the words, letting go of the burdens for a while.
