Book description
In Aging as a Spiritual Practice, Buddhist priest and teacher,
Lewis Richmond, describes the four stages of aging, providing an
uplifting look at life's enriching journey.
Drawing on the teachings of Buddhism, he urges us to rejoice in
getting older, not to fight it; to adapt to a different way of living
rather than trying to chase a mythical elixir of youth in a quest to
stay younger for longer. He says: 'Everything is aging, all the time.
We age from our first breath. The problem is not aging per se,
but our view of it'.
Whether you're 30, 60 or 100 there are life-enhancing lessons to
learn and a wealth of opportunities in which to experience true joy.
With traditional Zen exercises and anecdotes from people of all ages
sharing their positive experiences, Lewis teaches us to embrace change
and see aging as simply an opening up of new paths. He shows us how we
often fail to appreciate the wisdom we develop as we go through life
and teaches us that to truly develop contentment we must spend more
time with our close ones and in looking inwards at ourselves.
