Facing Death and Dying An Evangelical.
Author: Dalai Lama.

 
Death is a part of our lives. Whether we like it or not, it must happen. Instead of avoiding thinking about it, we better understand its meaning
 Facing death in a state of peace is a difficult problem. According to common sense, it seems that there are two ways to deal with trouble and suffering. First, simply try to avoid trouble, put it outside our minds, despite the fact that the problem is still there and not minimized. One other way to deal with this problem is to look directly at a problem, analyze it, make it familiar to us, and makes clear that it is part of all our lives we.  Did I mention the subject and the body of disease. Illness occurs. That is not something exceptional, it is a natural part of life and truth. It occurs because the body there. Of course we have the right to avoid disease and pain, but instead of that effort, the disease occurs, it is better to accept it. While we should make every effort to heal quickly as possible, we should not have weighed more the spirit. As Indian yogi, Shantideva said: "If there is a way to overcome suffering, then there is no need to worry, if there is no way to win this pain is no use worrying. " Type of attitude that is reasonable benefit immensely. now I want to talk about death. Death is a part of our lives. Whether we like it or not, it must happen. Instead of avoiding thinking about it, we better understand its meaning. On the news, we often see the assassination and death, but some people seem to think that death only happens to other people, not for themselves. Type of attitude is wrong. We all have the same body, with human flesh, and therefore we will die. Of course, there is a big difference between natural death and accidental death, but basically death will come sooner or later. If at the beginning of our attitude is, "Well, death is a part of our lives," then maybe easier to face. So there are two different kinds of approaches to deal with a problem. One is to simply avoid it by not thinking about it. Other things more efficiently, directly opposite so we were aware of it. In general, there are two kinds of trouble or suffering: with a type, which can be received by a certain kind of attitude, we will be able to actually reduce the strength and degree of suffering and fret. However, there may be trouble and suffering of others, the receipt of which a certain kind of attitude and a way of thinking may not necessarily reduce the level of suffering, but it's still the standard we have to face them. When misfortunes happen in life that we have two possible outcomes. One possibility is that emotional lability, anxiety, fear, doubt, depression, and finally depression, and, in worst cases, even suicide. It's a way. Another possibility, is that because the disaster experience, we become more practical, we become closer to reality. With a capacity of survey tragic experiences can make us stronger and increase self-confidence and determination. Unfortunate event can be the source of inner strength. success in life and our future, as I have said, depending on the engine and the confidence and determination of their individual we. Through difficult experiences, life sometimes becomes more meaningful. If we look at the people from the beginning of their lives, have everything, we can see that when small things happen, they were quick to lose hope or frustration. Others, such as the generation in the UK, through the Second World War, has developed strong mental attitude rather than as a result of their difficulties. I think many people have had the miserable experience can straddle more stable in the face of problems than those who have never experienced pain. From this angle, then, a difficulty that can be a good lesson for our lives. attitude right now there is only one way to cheat yourself? Personally, I have lost homeland and worse, in my hometown much destruction, suffering, and unhappiness. I spent most of not only my life but also the most important part of my life outside Tibet. If you think about it from that angle alone, something that is rarely positive. But from a different perspective, we can see that because of this misfortune, I had a different kind of freedom, such as the opportunity to meet different people from different traditions, and also meet scientists from different fields. From that experience, my life has been enriched so much and I learned many other valuable things. Thus the tragic experience of the aspects I also value. Looking at problems from different aspects actually lessening the burden of mental or disappointment. According to the Buddhist view, every event can be seen from many, many different aspects. Very rare and can not have an event can be negative from all points of view. Therefore, it is useful when something happens to try to see it from different aspects and then we can see the positive aspects or useful. Moreover, if something happens, which is very useful to make an immediate comparison with any other event or events with other people or other countries. This is also very beneficial in maintaining peace in our hearts. now I will explain, as a Buddhist monk, dealing with death like? Buddha taught the principles of the Four Noble Truths, the first being The Truth About Suffering. The truth of suffering is taught in the context of three characteristic exists, one is impermanent. When talking about the nature of impermanence, we must understand the mind that there are two levels. One is the coarse level, is quite clear and terminate or continue a life event. But the nature of impermanence taught in relation to the Four Noble Truths regarding the more subtle aspects of the impermanent, transitory nature of existence. Buddha's teaching about the subtle aspects More on the impermanent nature of reincarnation towards establishing an appreciation of the nature of the unsatisfactory nature of our existence. If we understand the nature of impermanence in the right way, we understand that it will reveal that any existence that is generated randomly, that is, those formed as a result of causes and conditions (causal), depending entirely on the causes and conditions for their existence. Not only that, but also the causes and conditions that produce them also brings dissolved and the termination of the entity. Thus, the seeds of the cause of the event is the seed of the termination and dissolution of them. When this is linked to an understanding of the impermanent nature of the aggregates, body and mind, then here, cause-related condition delusion of the mind, that it is original law of existence, and this expresses that the physical existence of our existence our bodies, is very much controlled by the state of delusion of consciousness. , but it is by First reflections on the coarse level of impermanence that people eventually led to an assessment of the condition of subtle impermanence. And with this, people will be able to face and conquer the permanent attachment of the external or existence of its own properties or ego, because of this attachment to the permanent pushed we cling to the "current character" or the issue of one's own life only. By release the grip of persistent attachment of us, we will be in a better position to realize the value of work done for the life of our future. One of the reasons why that awareness of death and impermanence is very essential in the practice of Buddhism is concerned about the state of our mind at the time of death is a very great consequence in deciding kind of rebirth that we may receive. Although it can be a positive or negative state of mind, it will have a tremendous impact. Thus, the practice of Buddhism emphasizes the importance of the extremely aware of death and impermanence. Though the main objective of a high level of awareness of impermanence to discipline yourself so at the time of death it will be in a state of spiritual and moral positive, and will ensure a positive rebirth, there are other benefits. One of the positive side effects of maintaining a high level of awareness about death is that it will prepare us to the fullest extent that, when people really facing death, it will be in a better position to maintain the presence of mind he. Especially in tantra, practitioners concerned that the spiritual condition that they experienced at the time of death is extremely subtle, because the subtle level of consciousness, it also has a great capacity and the impact on the continuity of spiritual practitioners. Therefore, in the tantric practice, we see more emphasis placed in the contemplation of death and contacts as well as individuals at the time of death not only maintain presence of mind to him, and which also is in a position to be able to use subtle state of consciousness was an effective way to realize the path [path realization]. It is because of this, we see many tantric meditation , a technique known as "yogic meditation deity [1]" because it is the meditation on the deity, is related to the process of dissolving, reflecting on the solubility of the factors that practitioner experience at the time of death. In fact, according to the esoteric perspective, the whole process of existence [samsara] are explained in terms of three strata known as "dead", "intermediate", and "re-birth". All three class existence is seen as the physical manifestation of consciousness and the energy and coordination and to promote consciousness, so the condition and rebirth is none other than the multi-level forms of consciousness and subtle energies. An example of these fluctuations can be seen in our daily existence we, as twenty-four hours a day we go through a cycle of deep sleep, and wake time status dreaming. The existence of our everyday reality is characterized by three phases of this story. speaking of the distinction made ​​in Tantra between the subtle and the gross level of knowledge and interest, I think it is important to keep in mind what we mean by "spiritual food" correctly. Usually people have the impression that when we talk about the 'spirit of Friday [2]' has a certain kind of autonomy that it is completely independent of the physical body and in a way it is the equivalent of the soul. But this is a wrong understanding. I personally think that if you examine the world of our spirit, we will see that most of the mental and spiritual functions of the elements we have physical correlates directly. Not only the 'sense of [3]', but also much of what we have called the spirit of the basic biology and is intimately linked with the condition of the body, like the Scientists say the brain and nervous system is the main biological basis of consciousness experienced by us. Therefore, when the body stops condition, the spirit of this function is terminated. But the real question is: what makes it possible for the basic physical and biological conditions for development Birth of a conscious mental events? Buddhist tantric particular, the explanations towards what is known as Linh Quang condition [4] subtle, which can be viewed as independent of basic biology. Quang Linh And this condition of mind is the most subtle level of consciousness is that when it interacts with biological basis for consciousness arises and all the events we are aware of. Having the expression certain of the existence of what may be called a state of mind Quang Linh. There are signs that usually tend to be more likely for the religious practitioner. For example, in the Tibetan exile community, there are cases when it was declared clinically dead, that is, the function of the brain stopped and the brain dead but have not started decomposing, and they remain in that condition for several days until the end. For instance, his late teacher myself, Kyabje Ling Rinpoche, has maintained in that condition in 13 days. He was declared clinically dead and had undergone brain death, but his body continued to maintain profit and non-biodegradable fresh for 13 days. now have an explanation for this that . The interpretation of Buddhism is in that situation, is not really dead individuals but rather in the process of dying. Buddhism explains that despite the mind-body relationship may have ceased evident in the level of crude, but it's not over yet subtle level. In particular tantra known as The Secret Society (Guhyasamaja Tantra), when a man went through the process of death, there is a certain period of dissolution. From then disappear in Quang Linh condition with a reverse cycle and when the cycle reaches a certain class, a new life begins is called regeneration. Then regeneration and maintain human again go through a process of dissolving. It can be said that the dead in the intermediate class elements vanish in Quang Linh and from there starts the regeneration of a new identity. So death is nothing more than the intermediate point when the biological factors of human diversity to dissolve in the Quang Linh. When interested in the process of disappearing really diverse elements, security Classic mention the different strata of soluble and signs to coordinate with them. For example, in case of dissolution of the coarser levels of the factors, both internal and external signs and manifestations in the soluble marker. When going to the subtle elements, only the internal signals such as mirages, etc. .. There is a growing interest in the scientists who are doing research on death , especially the internal and external signals at. As a Buddhist, I think it's very important for us to vigilance in the survey of scientists are doing. However, we must be able to distinguish between the phenomenon continues beyond the scientific method of analysis exists and that such phenomena may be rejected by the survey methods and the science of existence. I say that if certain phenomena can be seen as being proven wrong by science through the study of science and the scientific method, I think as Buddhists we pay attention to respect these conclusions . As death becomes something familiar to us, when we have a certain knowledge of its processes and can recognize signs of internal and external, we must prepare for it . According to my own experience, I still do not believe that at the moment of death I will truly apply all this practice for what I had prepared. I'm not sure! However, sometimes when I think about death, I have a certain excitement. Instead of fear, I have a sense of curiosity and this made ​​it easier for me to accept death. I wonder if I can apply this practice to this level. Of course, the only one of my concerns if I die today, "Oh, what will happen in Tibet? Tibetan culture will be like? Situation of six million Tibetans will happen ? Here is my main concern. On the other hand, I do not feel fear of death. Perhaps, I have a certain blind faith! So, it is good to reduce the fear 's death. During practice daily prayer, I visualize eighteen different deities and yogic death eighteen different. Perhaps at death all my preparation may fail. I hope not! Anyway, I think it is very useful method in the spirit of dealing with death. Even if there is no future life, there are some benefits to it if it alleviate fear. And because fewer than fear, one can fully prepare. Same as for battle, will not have the opportunity to prepare well for the defeat, but if we are going is full, the defense will have an opportunity. if we prepare fully, then at deathbed, we can still maintain our peace of mind. the peace of mind at the time of death is the foundation for cultivating a proper engine and it is a guarantee for an immediate rebirth of holiness, of a better life ahead. Especially for the The author's ultimate Tantric, death is one of the rare opportunity to convert the subtle mind of wisdom. As to what the treasure for us after death, Buddhism talks about the three realms, a technique known as "formless", "gender identity" and "sexuality". Both gender identity and sexuality with an intermediate layer before it is rebirth, known as "intermediate body. "All of this is geared towards the event although 'dead' gives us the best opportunity to use the most subtle level of consciousness, it is transformed into a path of wisdom position, even if we can not take advantage of an opportunity that effectively, there is an intermediate layer which although more primitive moment of death, and more subtle consciousness at rebirth. Due Thus, there is a chance. And even if we can seize this opportunity, it is a rebirth and the cycle continues. therefore aims to take a chance at magical match point of death, then, in the intermediate layer, we first need to educate themselves to be able to use that time. For this, Buddhism has taught a variety of skills to allow we apply these skills in a certain meditative sleep, deep sleep, and awake state. conclusion, I think that at the time of death, a peaceful quiet mind is essential regardless we believe in something, whether it be Buddhism or any religion there. At the time of death, people should not look for the anger, hatred, etc. .. This is very important in the process of the earthly empire of habit. I think even nonbelievers also found that it is better to die in a state of peaceful calm. thus it is happier. Similarly, those who believe heaven or the other concept, at best bye world peacefully with their god ideology or belief in the noble capacities. For Buddhists, as well as the ancient traditions of India recognized the causal theory of reincarnation or karma, in the moment of natural death, a state of moral consciousness is extremely beneficial.  we see more emphasis placed in the contemplation of death and contacts as well as individuals at the time of death not only maintain presence of mind to him, and that is also in a position to be able to use subtle state of consciousness was an effective way to realize the path [path realization].
