A question-and-answer talk on death with Ajahn Amaro, who answers questions from the perspective of Dharma practice.
A note from Sean
I would not hand a practice on death to someone brand new to mindfulness, because all sorts of emotions can come up. I am not saying life is hard and then we die. I mean the opposite. When we really connect with it, life is precious.
Try this today. Choose one ordinary moment, like the first sip of tea or one breath at a red light. Give it your whole attention, as if you wanted to remember it. Notice what that does to the moment.

This is a talk on a hard subject. If you are grieving, facing a serious illness, or have lost someone recently, go gently. Stop when you need to.
