E-book, Life & Death from a Buddhist Perspective, now available through Apple iBooks

EL CERRITO, Calif. - May 16, 2014 - PRLog -- Life & Death: A Buddhist Perspective, by James Hilgendorf, is now available for download through the Apple iBooks app for use on your iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch.

Life & Death: A Buddhist Perspective covers a broad range of subjects, including near-death experience research, correlations with quantum physics, modern psychology and psychiatry, and draws on such famous writers as Leo Tolstoy, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, Carl Jung, Albert Einstein and many others. Concepts explored include "Esho Funi", or inseparability of self and environment; karma; dependent origination; the nine consciousnesses, and more.

Underlying everything is the perspective which Buddhism brings to our daily lives, and to the most fundamental problem of all - the issue of death.

Some comments by readers:

"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.

"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.
