Shanti Project ad in The Sentinel. 1986.
“I’ll never give as much as I’ve received from Shanti.”
“My client Ed shared his life, his story, his anger, his fears. That’ll be with me for the rest of my life. No other experience that I can imagine would give me that. I could read all the books I wanted to read, I could take all the courses and all the psych classes but it would never give me what I’ve experienced.
With most people, even people I’ve known for years, I know nothing about how they relate to life and what they feel about death. Because you never discuss it. It’s a subject you never touch on.
I joined Shanti after my mother died. I was terrified of death. I can honestly say now that I’m not afraid to die. There’s an enormous amount of beauty to life. Every day that I live, I say I’m going to do something that makes me feel good, or hopefully makes somebody else feel good. Because that’s what life is all about, and you don’t live forever.”
