By summer his cancer had run its course. In the short time in between, C. W. \"Sandy\" Huntington faced his own impending death, leading him to reconsider the teachings and practices, as well as philosophy and literature, he had spent a lifetime pursuing. In this, his last book, you'll join Sandy as he traverses the gap between knowledge and true wisdom. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Sandy Huntington urges his readers to face up to life's fragility as well as its many gifts. Written with elegance and verve, \u003ci\u003eWhat I Don't Know about Death\u003c\/i\u003e is a deep meditation on what it means both to wake up to and to let go of life. Drawing on his lifelong engagement with Buddhism, Huntington remains a consummate teacher who demands intellectual honesty, humility, and compassion from his readers no less than from himself. This book is an intellectual and spiritual offering to Huntington's students, past and future.\"\u003cb\u003e--Leora Batnitzky\u003c\/b\u003e, Ronald O.
