Irwin
Kula explores our fears of death and helps us embrace its mystery.
Kula uses “simple wisdom” to value life and better understand death
in this poignant episode.
|
|
Irwin draws his teachings from sources
that are ancient and contemporary, from sources that include the
deepest wisdom of the Jewish tradition and the findings of today's
most insightful thinkers and spiritual explorers. A lifetime of
study and teaching combine with a pragmatic sense for what is most
true to our own experience to yield the lessons that he sets forth
in the Simple Wisdom series.
Wanting to share with you the sources
that have been so important to the development of his own teaching,
he places some of them before you here, hoping that they will
inspire and enliven your own untracked adventure in living.
