Laurie Anderson on Lou Reed’s “Good Death”

As a meditator, I was very struck by Laurie Anderson’s farewell tribute to her husband Lou Reed in Rolling Stone magazine.  Sometimes it can feel as though our meditation practice isn’t “doing anything” or “getting us anywhere.”

But Laurie Anderson’s essay gives a clear example of just how beneficial a strong meditation practice can be: it can help transform the moment of death from one of fear and uncertainty into one of peace.  I encourage you to read this.
