Life & Death: A Buddhist Persective Now on Amazon U.K

EL CERRITO, Calif. - June 19, 2014 - PRLog -- Life & Death: A Buddhist Perspective, by author James Hilgendorf, is now available as a paperback or ebook for readers in the U.K. on Amazon U.K.

Life & Death: A Buddhist Perspective is the most popular of the author's eight non-fiction titles.  The book is a wide-ranging tapestry of subjects, including a short history of Buddhism, near-death experience research, quantum theory, karma, psychology, personal experiences, commentary from leading thinkers such as Albert Einstein, Leo Tolstoy, Carl Jung, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross and others - all with the purpose of shedding light upon the most basic problem which all human beings confront at one time or another - death.

Of the book, one reviewer wrote:

"If I were to teach a basic college-level course in religion, philosophy, or metaphysics - call it Spirituality 101 - this book would be required reading.  In fact it would be the first week's assignment.  Having read all or parts of nearly a thousand books dealing with spiritual matters, I cannot recall another that so simply and effectively blends the fundamentals of religion and science." - Michael E. Tymn, Journal of Religion and Psychical Research.

The book grew out of a panel discussion which Hilgendorf helped to organize in Los Angeles on the same subject: Life & Death: A Buddhist Perspective. To everyone's surprise, the panel discussion drew around seven hundred people.

"I knew then that this was a subject of interest to the public," says the author.  He subsequently incorporated what he had learned from the panel discussion into his current book.

The authors's other books include "Forever Here"; "The Great New Emerging Civilization"; "A New Myth for America"; "The New Superpower"; "The Buddha and the Dream of America"; "Handbook for Youth in a Muddied Age"; and "Poems of Death: Time for Eternity".
