p.12 [Introduction]


"...So powerfully has he [an elderly Zen monk] trained his mind that he remains erect in the lotus position even as life slips quietly from his body. Once his consciousness has left his from, the Zen master's body slowly falls to the ground and he is immediately cremated by his disciple who spreads the master's ashes to the elements of earth air, fire, and water."
