Many in the Buddhist world were shocked at the death of Insight Meditation and yoga teacher Michael Stone in 2017. He was only 42 years old, and few were aware that he had been struggling with bipolar disorder. It was later revealed that he had died from an opioid overdose. His death brought up many questions about the stigmas against mental illness, and the responsibility of teachers to reveal their personal challenges. Here, Michael\u2019s wife Carina Stone sits down with Tricycle\u2019s Editor and Publisher James Shaheen to discuss Michael\u2019s legacy. Last year, Carina finished working on "The World Comes to You: Notes on Practice, Love, and Social Action," a collection of Michael\u2019s teachings. While editing the book, Carina grappled with difficult questions about Michael\u2019s life, all while working through her own grief around his death.
