They say that just as a frog hibernates and comes back, or as we change our old clothes for new, similarly in death we leave our this body and come back in another. Life is a constant change, and death is also a change. 

They say that just as in life wevsay that this moment too will pass by, similarly this moment of death will also pass by. 

They say that if we lead our lives by living in the present moment consciously, then at the time of death we realise who we really.

They state that there are no rules or compulsions in Zen philosophy, and even the writing of the Haikus at the time of death is not necessary. They state we have led our lives, and the student can learn from our lives while we are alive and learn by her/his own experience too. It all depends on the individual. The main understanding is to live in the present moment, do whatever work that comes in front of us with full consciousness.

The Haikus  also provide an insight into life. They say that life is like the Hydrangea flower that changes colours seven times and goes back to it's original colour. 

Most of the Zen saints have stated at the time of death that they are conscious that this life was the fruit of their previous lives and they are at the end of this life going happily.

The Zen saints emphasize that there is no need to follow any words said by the saints, one needs to find one's own path. They state that life goes even after death and it makes no difference to anyone if one is alive or dead, one needs to move on. Life and death does not need to be explained or discussed, one just must live in the moment. One of the saints in the Haiku has said that the whole of nature is rejoicing on the death of a person, as the soul has been freed from the body. 

In this Episode the Haikus of Soseki, Gido, Isho, and Ryushu have been narrated. 

One needs to be an Observer to reach in a Zen state of being. True wisdom comes from being a mere observer or witness, without the chatter of the mind.

To walk on spiritual path, we need to know ourselves - who am I? To understand who we are, we need to first forget ourselves, that is, forget our ego, our separate entity, and know that we are all one. We should not discriminate against anyone. We realise that others are like us and we are like others, and there is no real distinction in all of us. This is the spiritual path. 

In this Episode the Haikus of Tetsuan, Ryushu, Isho, Su Tung Po, and Sekiso, have been narrated.

The Haikus explain that each person is unique and the way of living is also unique. The Zen Masters guide their students in their own unique ways as per their own experience. They do not teach from any scriptures or books, but teach through their experiences and their living styles. The student has to find his own path.
