I deal with death all the time, I don't like it, I try not to think about it. This is what an acquaintance said to me recently.

Yet most people feel the same way, death is a scary part of life, it overshadows the entire human cycle.

In all previous cultures, death was the engine of evolution, the final solution comes from many excuses.

We will die, that part is clear, but we all hope it will be quick and painless. And, of course, to last a long time until this very personal appointment that no one can escape.

The Aztecs and the Mayans subjected the prisoners to macabre rituals, the ancient Egyptians tried to live forever as mummies, so the problem of transience was always clearly there, was the emotional weak point in the history of human development.

Where do we come from, where are we going? Is death the end? Or is there something after it? According to Buddha, we are subject to the cycle of rebirths, we have to be born again and again, age, get sick and die. So, according to the great teacher, we pass into an intermediate world, where we gather, and then pass into the next incarnation.

Are you also concerned with death? Are you afraid of it, of the body burning up, the spirit going out?

What will happen when we have found a new incarnation? When and where will that be? Questions upon questions. There things appear briskly in a new light, life takes place in the here and now.

If we think about it carefully, we quickly realize how we will die, when it will be. The phenomenon comes closer to us, many things we "know", although we try to forget them. The world is getting rougher and rougher, those who know fate know how the future will be. The old rituals no longer work, illusions are getting weaker, Buddhists can see behind the scenes.

Do you need proof, or do the connections become clear to you? Despite human decay, life is wonderful, moments are unique, focus on the philosophy of the teacher of all teachers.

Mysterious fog of history makes death look like a transfigured mystery, but it is not like that. Dying is violent, about personality decided coincidences, but Buddha taught that there are no coincidences. Torn from life, death comes relentlessly upon every individual.

How will we react when the time comes?

The way is the goal!
