Thank you for sharing this. This is the part that meant a lot to me: "It is no surprise that recollection of death can lead to the deathless, to awakening. In Buddhist thought, the deathless is not something to be realized after one has passed away. The deathless is realized while still alive, here and now." I have never heard anyone say this before.❤
Thank you so much for sharing this meditation, this wisdom. I had a Buddhist teacher share this meditation with me, leading me to asking him to take me through it many times as it brings me deeply into the present moment like nothing else. Ever since i haven't been able to find anything like it online, until this one. Very very grateful
It is not a change of lifestyles. If you believe in the Buddha’s teaching you would not say this. It is very rare and exceptional to have a human birth. So much so that the Buddha said if someone were to throw a floating ring similar to a lifesaver found on boats into the ocean and it was blown around from north to south and east to west and there was a blind sea turtle who only surfaced for air once every 100 years the chances of that turtle surfacing with her head through the ring are greater than the chances of any human being reborn in the human realm again for a very long time.
The likely destination for nearly all of us is either hell or as an animal. The ONLY way be safe from ever being born a woeful state again is to at least become a stream enterer in this life. If you don’t it is possible that the next time you are born human that the Buddha’s teachings have been forgotten. That is why this human birth is considered precious.
We are all so incredibly fortunate to have been born in the human realm: at a time when the teachings of a Buddha have not been forgotten, in a place where it is not forbidden, with an intellect capable of understanding the dhamma.

when i was a kid i had a realization of death that was terrifying to 9 - 10 year old me and now i feel drawn to re experiencing that same feeling but there is a locked door i cannot open when i try to really think about what its like to be dead or to die. I can think about it logically but there is a disconnect between thinking about it and knowing it like i did as a kid.
the closed door, is just a thought that has been thought, imagine an angel opening the door for /with you...................death is the most irristable state, like a Divine orgasm that shall devour each in kind ! I knew death & death knew me............... die to come alive
What is that even supposed to mean? Why does everyone try to cherry pick out of Buddhism and then relate it to things absent from the Buddha’s teaching?
Hopes it could make me die... No success yet, but can't sleep without anymore... But now UA-cam has started playing ads in the middle and the end of the meditation... Ruining it all...bad move UA-cam!
Death meditations are intended to cultivate dispassion for sensuality in order to attain right view. Right view is a thorough understanding of the unsatisfactory and impermanent nature of existence, the origin of the same, the cessation of the same and the way leading to the cessation of the same.
Unless you are an arahant you have no understanding of what is in the next life. The buddha said that for almost all humans it is either spontaneous rebirth in hell or through the womb of an animal. If you have not attained arahantship, or at least stream entry, you shouldn’t assume that death is an end to your suffering.
This person voice sound like very weak, though we are talking about death we need not feel so weak in our voice nor of feeling. So what? to live is to die. Life is death and death is life.
11:34 "Those who die before they die,
No longer die when they die"
Impressive insight: training in the art of dying is training in the art of living as a whole being.
Actual guided meditation ("Now the time has come for us to die...") begins about 16:53 - Thank you so much, Bhante!

This meditation is transforming my relationship with my shadow & Life!

Very good choice of meditation.

Thank you Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu
Thank you🙏
Thank you so so much for the video.
So no one thought this was attack on titan
🙏🙏🙏
very valuable
It’s interesting I think medieval artists such as Breugler must have meditated on death and impermanence
I hoped this would be a way to die, not to understand that I can die at any time but actually keep living in pain for decades on.

Where can I read the Buddha saying this?
@@Dakradom It is in the suttas
@@nimeshaperera8819 are you an arahant?
Thought it was funny when he said “corpse posture”. Never thought of shavasana in this way
lol

So what? to live is to die. Life is death and death is life.
