Living and Dying: A Buddhist Perspective

by Carol S. Hyman
"Regular contemplation of death is part of Buddhist training. Various schools of Buddhism take different approaches based on the Buddha's insights, among which one of the most fundamental is that existence is marked by impermanence: everything put together sooner or later comes apart, including our precious lives.

"Meditation is a practice in how to let go, first of our thoughts, emotions and opinions; later, as we settle down and are able to be simply present, we let go of each moment, constantly moving into the next. Paradoxically, such relaxation, rather than spacing us out, brings us more directly in contact with what actually is, which might be called nowness or being awake in the eternal present. For this reason, the symbol for meditation is an endless knot, also called the knot of eternity. Training in such a way is, in effect, training for the ultimate surrender human beings encounter, letting go of this body at the time of death.

"If we learn to let go into uncertainty, to trust that our basic nature and that of the world are not different, then the fact that things are not solid and fixed becomes, rather than a threat, a liberating opportunity. Then we are free to savor what life offers, to taste the texture of each moment fully, whether the moment is one of sadness or joy."

An Inconvenient Truth

Normally, I don't comment much on these things I find on the internet, I just hand them over to you as I found them. However this trailer for a documentary on global warming definitely does the job of getting me to want to see the film. If there is something to be done, I'm fairly confident that the film will convince me to do whatever it is need be done. This truth stuff hurts, be careful what you let in your brain. These documentaries may be tough to deal with but I think we need to.
