Help for the dying

Q: Please advise how best eTo help we can give people who are dying and who died?

The Dalai Lama: When you see people dying avoided bother them. A? C is different does not make them angry or cry eTo them consciousness attachment. Conversely, to remind them to galaxysuch charge, practice in the last hours, such as visualization images of the Buddhas, the moral teacher, Jesus, or a certain teachings according to their beliefs. If he does not follow any religion, should help them die in peace and tranquility.

When he becomes comatose, if the practitioner, the practice is that they remind meticulous routine, especially when they are about the ei. Then recite a prayer. If family members want better for themselves dying, the chanting monks or provide home visiting to pray for them. Where there are no monks to lead, to family membersnh could mantra Om mani padme hum, Or other spells that they know, eTo further guide for the dead. After the funeral, family travelcontinue to maintain such life, chanting until day 49 for soul find easy entrance into the realms of sound reproduction.

The work of burying corpses is discretionary with each platform andn chemical or practices of the dead, the nay not very important, because once the consciousness (Consciousness) has escape the dead he is like an esoil pipe. In a lAng no Buddhists in southern India, their practices are buried corpses and graves crop up. This is a way to stop air pollution (Air Pollution) from wood torch cremation, a practice common in India, the nay also avoid the destruction of forest trees, a valuable resource of the country. This is a good method, although it is not in use as in the West where eiện for cremation.

Ambassador Garje Khamtul Rinpoche: For the dying and who died, the best way that you want to help support is rise to your own compassion towards the dying persons. Love and your compassion is good for the dying, because it arises from your heart so you can express compassion for him unconditionally that the dying are needed. True compassion you will create a peaceful atmosphere for the dying thought of lofty spiritual dimension and the etheir nursing practice in the future. One other important thing is that you do not alienate people and left a dying breadnh. Death is the truth and is a most terrible fear ehuman amniotic fluid. Therefore, you Guinean beside them, holding their hand or speak words of comfort, or look into their eyes with faith empathy. Body language can also be loving it, please do not be afraid to use it for fear that their stinking, dirty or afraid they caught her in, if you express the affectionate gestures like that, then you will echildren for dying persons bliss largest at the end of their lives.

When you are sure he has death, you still maintain your infinite compassion with you and everyone in the morning next to that big action title Buddhas as Shakyamuni Buddha, Amitabha Buddha or title 35, etc. .. If you recite the Buddha with boundless compassion will help a dying person the way of regeneration.

Ambassador Tsenshab Kirti Rinpoche: There are two categories of people to consider here. The first is believers. Monday was not a particular religion. If the dying person is a Buddhist and we chant the nembutsu to super for them. If he does not beliefs eArticle best to help them advise them to think of the good and the eBest Article in the world. When a person is dying and He confused the moment, nothing better than giving them a sense of peace and warmth of our people, this feeling is good for their minds.

I will explain in detail what eTo help the two categories of people nay. For Buddhists, we can suggest to them in the direction of what they once refuge and practice. We can consider cor they remember about bodhicitta, mind awareness, pure attention and concentration meditation ... AThis gets very beneficial to a Buddhist. For the layman, we may advise them to think that: "May everyone be happy, may all beings be happy, pray for all beings free from suffering their grief". The idea of ​​the good to others, is very useful for the dying.

For Buddhists time of death, should prompt them to remember the deeds of the Buddhas, remember the image of a Buddha that eOh, can put a Buddha image in the pro-ng their ... This is very useful and help to shade conditions rebirth in pure land.

Shortly after he died, it is important to note that not to touch their bodies to the tnests, the death is not interrupted, the process ended only when the intermediate state (Bardo / Intermediate state) completely out of the body. In Tibet, people close to eOh, the last 48 hours advance Galaxynh funeral.

Great Geshe Lamrimpa: In general, khi has determined he will die, it is important have fulfilled all their wishes. If they proved to be always angry, we should how eTo prevent their anger, keep them always in a state of peace and peace. Avoid making noise and moving frequently travel with the person. If the attachment dying relatives, wife (Or husbands), parents and children, not the best ones to close the morning. Try to do this to stop our attachment to the dying person. If it is determined to make sure that they will die, then we should give them the eOh, and food and drink things that they claim to they please and satisfy even the food abstinence during treatment. However, not eConvention provides pharmaceutical and food poisoning could threaten e? N life.

If we try to speak French for the dying, but they do not like to hear, it is best not to say, as this gives them a grudge against the Dharma. With that in mind so the next life they will not like close to Buddhism.

Similarly, the neu eat them like that do not satisfy their desires, will make them angry and caused them to fall into species preta (Hungry ghost).

If a person believes in helping others and who also helped eothers in life nay, we should remind them to remember their good deeds and praise the good that they did. This will make them happy and their care will be born in a place of happiness. If we help the dying wishes of completion, they will be very satisfied. This is nattached to prevent the emergence ovenng of lust, anger, attachment and the other wrong mind of the dying, enabling them to regenerate to heal without realms fall into evil realms.

For Buddhists and who lead a life that is the practice it is advantageous if they meetreachable we recall the Buddha's ten before death as follows:

1. Do not start taking e conceptam grasping all desire in life nay. Should try and avoid radial loving attachment to their loved ones, because even have to meet again later, it must be separated. In the churchi point of dying, we must leave everything behind. We should not accept the body of the bread plate immersednh, because I was dying to leave it. I do not regret things like food, clothing, shelter, because of what he finally abandoned it.

2. We should rise to compassion and love for all beings.

3. We should take all the resentment and hostility, if not then it will harm us in the next life.

4. All of life's legal responsibility if they have violated must try to atone for purity before she died.

5. We have found strong interest in life expectancy over the future will be peaceful and legal precepts.

6. You have to feel bitter about the negative karma that cause they have made to others in this life to repent and be born again easily.

7. We must remember the tourc that he has done in this life, those ememory of others work and interest will continue to do in the future.

8. I think his time has come to the ei to the next life, nothing fear at all, because it is natural law is surely a student death.

9. Be consistent ththat all things are caused by human phenomena duyen students and also because of conditions that pass away.

10. We shall see that all things consistent phenomena are selfless to escape from our grief and achieve peace.

Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche Ambassador: The best way to help People are dying words and his actions to eagreements promoted by the ovenng compassion. If possible, also visiting the master ehappy memories come to bem the transference of consciousness (Transference of consciousness) for the dying. This is called Tibetan Powa, the practice is considered a particularly valuable and most effective way to help the dying. You visualize the Buddha image at the top of the dying. Visualize light shine on dying persons clean their nature, and observe that they melt into light, integrated in the light of the Buddhas. The transference of consciousness is successful or not depends on good faith effortEstimate the person doing these practices. French special na tuy not only for the dying person but also can help purify and healing for survivors. The Lama has often used this method for an online life for frail older people. Some teachers believe that the transference should be done about stopping the mind between breathing in and breathing out. Others say that this should lead life as much as possible after the eÓ death for upholding intermediate state for their ease of recycling.

According to the Apostolic teachings of the Law should be cremated bodies as soon as possible after death. But Tantric it is best not to move his body after death in three days

Question: People are dying in pain and physical terrified with fear of death. What is the best method to help them overcome that fear?

Ambassador Garje Khamtul Rinpoche: ? Western people often use drugs or tFunny sedation to reduce the physical pain of the dying and help them die in peace. But according to Buddhism, people need to die ewas fully conscious, have autonomy and awake as much as possible. So the need to control the eau pain so that it can not obscure the sense of dying persons, it is essential terms of reducing physical pain.

Monday, do to help people overcome fear of dying, death? First of all, you have to be very calm and you also have to overcome the fear him. When helping the dying, you need to note your own reactions each, because Your response will reflect on the response of the dying and it will contribute greatly to their comfort or their destruction. When you recite the Buddha to guide, you should note that reassure the dying in the final hour, they will face a multitude of different horrifying scene that they never knew a long time, and eArticle which makes them very hardng fear. However, you must reassure them that it was just absolutely no illusions that it is just the product of hallucinations of the dying. If possible, please give them the Mani pearl chain, or a string of beads he ehappy memories will help them overcome fear hãi. (Beads here symbolizes the power of masters). 

Question: For persons who are not Buddhists, they do not follow a religion, then I do to help them?

Ambassador Garje Khamtul Rinpoche: For someone who does not believe or do not know anything about Buddhism, only for them as well as Mani jewel of comfort and explain to them the horrible scenes they are about to see just a moment in the dream visions not true.
