The First Couple Steps
I read the book Buddhism Plain & Simple, by Steve Hagen, it outlines the base of Buddhism. I was interested in the portion about mortality and leaving. It fascinated me how Buddhism has such a pliable and open to the thought of death. The Buddhist view on the end, like the beginning, there is not an end, it is on going and there is an acceptance of the inevitable end. It was immensely interesting to look into another faiths view on the end of ones life. Death, as in Buddhism, is not always the end, it may be just a stopping or just a small event, death may not be the true end.
