Let's Talk About Death_3

We have been practicing mindfulness of death. Traditionally this is called Maranasati and it’s located in the Satipatthana Sutta in the ancient text. So there are many benefits to practicing mindfulness of death. When we reflect on death regularly there may be a deeper appreciation for every aspect of life. And paradoxically keeping death close, recognizing that it is always sitting on our shoulders, lessens the anxiety that death can come at any time.

Trigger Warning: This practice includes references to death, dying, and the departed.
