Tsem Tulku Rinpoche talks about death meditation and how it spurs us to realise the impermanence of things. With his trademark hilarious jokes, this is a talk not to be missed.

  • Wonderful teaching ! thanks a lot tsem tulku rinpoche for posting your teachings !

    Greetings from France !

  • wow, hard hitting teachings! Thank you so much Rinpoche! 

  • @samann95014 I used to think after thinking about death you'd be all down, negative and scared. On the contrary, you'll find that a lot of things that would normally bother you, would bother you less. If you think how short this life is and how all those things that nag you would really not mean a thing at the point of death. You'll let go of things easier, feel less stressfull. You might even end up living longer !

  • Can death meditation bring real death early on?

  • @WisdomQuoteofTheDay Have you come across this text called the Lam Rim ? It has teachings on how to familiarise with death. In fact the whole of Lam rim is to familiarise our minds with buddhist concepts like compassion.

    Mediatation one aspect of it is to familiarise with buddhist concepts :)

  • @WisdomQuoteofTheDay death and attachment is very closely related :) . If we attach to having a body, we naturally fear death :) . Do you have an altar for you to do your practice?

  • @Alanna11111 I see, its good to be connected to a center our learning is much faster and we get the support of other sangha members lay and ordained.

    Though centers are 'hospital' too :) 

  • I technically do not... although we do have 1 Rime center here in Kansas led by Lama Chuck Stanford. I do go there from time to time & also try to look for smaller groups that meet up... but Tibetan Buddhism is somewhat sparse here in Kansas/Missouri, USA. Why do you ask?

  • @wanwaimeng Thank you. I say things but in reality I know that I still have lots of difficulties with death, others and my own...attachements are strongs but they are not worth it to live with. Learning to let go seems an important skill to learn to meditate well on death!

  • @Alanna11111 Do you belong to any dharma center ?
