About This Book
“Buddhist teacher Eric Kolvig wrote these letters while he was in hospice, offering profound insights and reflections during his final days.
Eric’s journey was marked by an extraordinary commitment to understanding and teaching the principles of Dharma. His insights were not merely theoretical; they were lived experiences, deeply felt and eloquently expressed. Eric had the rare ability to translate the profound teachings of Buddhism into practical guidance for everyday life, making them accessible and relevant to all who sought his counsel.
In these pages, you will find a tapestry of Eric’s reflections, teachings, and personal anecdotes, each imbued with his characteristic warmth and humor. From his early days navigating the challenges of academia to his later years as a respected Dharma teacher, Eric’s writings offer a window into a life dedicated to the pursuit of truth and the alleviation of suffering.
Eric’s final letters, written in the weeks leading up to his death, are particularly poignant. They reflect a deep acceptance of impermanence and a serene readiness to embrace the unknown. Even as his physical form weakened, his spirit remained vibrant and his teachings unwavering. These letters serve as a testament to Eric’s enduring legacy and his profound understanding of the Dharma.”
–From the Foreword by Brian Lesage
