Years ago I remember reading something about the Dalai Lama having a regular meditation in which he “practices dying”. This has always stuck with me and for whatever reason has been particularly resonant lately Just learned he actually wrote a book “Advice on Dying” in 2003 Just got the audio version…am curious to see how practical it is based on his own meditation practice https://www.audible.com/pd/B002V5BPY2?source_code=ASSORAP0511160006&share_location=pdp

This is great! Dying each day (I think a good deep meditation is a form of mini-death, ego death). The zen dudes (actually, I might have my schools wrong - some flavour buddhism) at one point used to have a practice of meditating literally on a corpse of a recently departed person, in the graveyard. Over the period of it decaying and returning to earth, forcing a literal confrontation with death in a very direct, non-discursive way. Keen to hear what you make of the Dali Lama's book @morereese

Thanks for sharing! Adding this to my reading list. This is a concept I’ve used in my life for a long time. But had not heard of this book yet. Maraṇasati (Buddhist) or Memento Mori (stoics) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mara%E1%B9%87asati?wprov=sfti1# https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memento_mori?wprov=sfti1#

definitely want to give this one a read! my last cast is literally a video i minted of me talking about working through my fear of death the last few years post-accident and one of the practices i’ve done is envision myself dying in random situations almost daily and have uncovered my actual fears surrounding death which is not just death itself would be cool to see what this is about 😝 thanks for posting :)

i read *the art of happiness* in my 20's a few times <3 then in my 30's i read some Jed McKenna and that had all kinds of spiritual killings :)) rn i'm doing *the presence process* by michael brown, again - it's painful and i highly recommend, especially if you're attracted to practicing dying <3

Please share your thoughts on this book, sounds interesting but I find a lot of books in this category quite abstract without much practical guidance, would be interested to know if this one has any concrete suggestions or ways to realign thinking.
