The Book of Life and Death

A compassionate guide to help us come to terms with death, both our own and that of others, to deal with the pain it causes and to enjoy all our days until the time comes for us to leave.

Death is as linked to life as birth. And yet we avoid thinking about it, it frightens us, we have wanted to banish it from our daily lives. Moreover, often religions, values, and traditional social structures do not provide the physical and spiritual support that the dying need. Despite all this, whether old or young, each one of us has experienced or will experience the profound process of transformation that death exerts on life, and we want to understand and dignify it.

In this book, Osho shows the way to a conscious preparation for the final moment, a learning process that is, nevertheless, vital. In his penetrating observations, without ever renouncing humor, Osho knows how to relativize our fears and instill new meaning into our lives.
