Life & Death: A Buddhist Perspective - New Speaker Series by James Hilgendorf

EL CERRITO, Calif. - Dec. 8, 2014 - PRLog -- Life & Death: A Buddhist Perspective is part of a new series of talks being presented nationwide by author James Hilgendorf.

Drawing from many different sources - near-death experience research, quantum physics, the writings of Carl Jung, Leo Tolstoy, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross and many others - the author adds a Buddhist perspective to an inquiry into the subject of death, in an attempt to shed light upon age-old questions of our existence.

The talks are based upon one of Hilgendorf's books - "Life & Death: A Buddhist Perspective".  Of the book, one reviewer wrote:

"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.

Hilgendorf is a Buddhist himself, having practiced Buddhism with the SGI, or Soka Gakkai International, for over forty years.  The Soka Gakkai is now the largest lay Buddhist organization in the world, with 12,000,000 members in 192 countries and territories around the globe.

Hilgendorf is the author of nine non-fiction books that are paving the way to a new vision of ourselves, a new dream for America, and a new religion for the world.

His titles include "Forever Here"; "A New Myth for America"; "Maybe We Need a New Religion"; "Handbook for Youth in a Muddied Age"; "Poems of Death: Time for Eternity"; "Life & Death: A Buddhist Perspective"; "The Buddha and the Dream of America"; "The New Superpower"; and "The Great New Emerging Civilization".
