Thought this post may have legs.

Hope this topic can walk a long path with us...

from post #2

So we change the body but if not have reach enlightenment there is a kind of conssiusness continuity about our attachments and ingnorance. In Sogyal Rimpche's Tibetan Book of Living and Dying he states that the only unavoidable thing is that we will die some day... so we should be working to have a "good dying" thorugh mindfullnes...

Any ideas about this aspect of "dying"...

What does realy dies? as Frank is asking in # 1
What should die?
Dying is about impermanence?
Dying is about the cessation of the attachment to the idea of a solid self and an "I" and "mine"?

I think that Frank's question: "Why are most people afraid of it?" is very important... I realy think that even for very advanced practitioners the moment of dying can be difficul to afford.

As we advance in mindfulness and the development of a pacefull mind we will be less afraid of dying... this can be a very good marker about how we have advanced in our spiritual path... but anyway... do we know "how" to die is about?

It would be helpfull to have a good sutta that can be taken for disscusion about this topic... Any suggestions?

Thich, in a peotich way, tells that dying is an ilusion of mind... there is just a manifestation and cessation of it depending in a specific causation and specific conditions...

Help is needed any way...
