Day of the Dead
How
do we die as Buddhists in a culture that has developed an abject terror
and denial of death—where death has been handed off to the care of
professionals and institutions and legislated away from families and
communities? How do we die in a culture that is not Buddhist? How do we
die with a clear, alert, fearless mind? In fact, we have more
possibilities than we may know, but we need to educate ourselves. Most
of us are woefully ill-informed about the logistics of dying and caring
for the dead in our society—and about how often these logistics can, in
fact, be organized in line with our practices and beliefs.
