Life, Death & Happiness: Humanist Speaker Forum, James Hilgendorf

EL CERRITO, Calif. - Jan. 22, 2016 - PRLog -- Author James Hilgendorf was the main speaker at the Humanist Community Forum in San Jose, California on January 3rd, 2016.

His talk centered on a number of wide-ranging topics, from a perspective by the great English historian, Arnold Toynbee, on mankind's future for the next three thousand years; quantum physics and near-death experience research, including the meaning of the "light at the end of the tunnel"; readings from Leo Tolstoy's "The Death of Ivan Ilyich"; and various perspectives on happiness, including the Buddhist concepts of relative and absolute happiness.

James Hilgendorf is a filmmaker, poet, speaker, and the author of ten non-fiction books that are opening up a new vision of ourselves, a new dream of America, and a new religion for the world.

One of his books, for example, is “Life & Death: A Buddhist Perspective. Of the book, a few reviewers 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.

"A must-read!  I am serious when I say that reading James Hilgendorf's 'Life & Death: A Buddhist Perspective' was a life-changing experience.  It has changed the way I will live the rest of my life." - Lisbeth Gant-Britton, author of "African American History” and UCLA adjunct professor in African-American Studies.
