Contemplating Our Death: What Is Left Behind?

In this mediation, we contemplate what is "left behind" after we die -- our possessions, creative work, spiritual practices, thoughts, the causes we support, the people we love -- what happens to all of these following our death? How does the passage of time affect the whole mandala of tangible and intangible aspects that make up our lives? Can we allow this investigation to inform how we live now?

Wow. 🙏🏻

I'm sending this to a dying friend. I seriously doubt that she'll listen to it, but I'm glad that I did. Thank you.

Helpful to cultivate perspective on letting go of possessions. In gratitude
