This is such a gift to listen to as i begin my 4th month on hospice, living these explorations daily, and following the urges to write and share.on social media about the journey with life through death.
sending you metta!
“the infinite possibilities of death…makes love so possible” …let that sink in your heart 💜
Read the book after losing my son and then my wife . The impermanence of life is with us all .
This book is very helpful. It has also helped me be more compassionate to others who face that impermanence
having lost my entire family in the last two years, this is soothing.
My uncle has cancer and he has maybe 3 months left to live, videos like this one give a poignant and vivid perspective to the process of accompanying him. I see him a couple of times a week, and we often used to talk about Zen, but now he wants to talk about his dog and his wife and his grandkids. In the end life is just chopping wood and carrying water to the well, and the real simplicity of things emerges.
Having lost my son to cancer 3 years now, I can resonate with the story of the mother and son....no words to describe the pain. However, this video and the way its been presented gives so much of peace and calmness. Thank you very much for this video
@Larry Cares thank you for your kind words
Thank you Google Talks for putting this video back up!!! It means alot.......
The woman I loved most was taken from me, in the most violent and tragic way imaginable. The words of the five invitations has been the greatest inspiration to me. This has helped me to frame our time together. I didn't wait and told her every day I loved her. We were happy together in our time on this world. We opened ourselves up to each other and found love. We lived fully together.
my dad and mom passed this year. 44 days apart. with my mom it was sudden, in the night during sleep. for my dad, who passed before her, the last week we had with him was one of the most beautiful of my life and my relationship not only with him but siblings as well. all it became about was love and only love. and like the asian man said, i know where they are, and that's everything. sure, i miss them at times. but i know we will be together again. and there's little to no need for should of, would of, could of's when one believes we are eternal beings whose existence and never ends.
Su San beautiful, thank you 🙏🏻
This is the delusion of belief that demeans life. Of course we are entitled to believe anything we want and beliefs such as your's make accepting death easier but there is zero evidence that "we are eternal beings whose existence never ends".
Death is with us all the time, in the marrow. Well said.... Thank you for this video! God bless...
Excellent talk/teaching! thank you so much for sharing this with us🙏🙏🙏
We can run, but we cannot hide.
Thank you.
Great to here
I wonder if I could show this video to coworkers? I'm presenting some info on palliative care and end-of-life care. If anyone could let me know I'd be grateful. Thank you!
Grazie Mr.Ostaseki ❤
Most of his realizations remind me of Marcus Aurelius'
Affecting values diversifies imagination projecting experience,
otherwise said,
imagination reflects the values of what experience frequents. ~ TVF Luvall
I think what Luvall is saying, thoughts of killing or love and kindness are casual.
Would be nice to see the pic
Unlike any other primate humans -
When moralistic values are subject to social conformities that favour abstract and gestural ritualistic preference, tendencies negatively otherising people not of those conformities are seen in our various tribal discriminations. ~ TVF Luvall
He goes on to say, 'It is upon that otherising all our evils have been realised.'
Foot note> abstract and gestural ritualistic preferences, an example of which may be, 'food is blessed (abstract) when prepared (gestural) by people with a certain valued cultural appearance.'

Dat story...
Heavy stuff.
21:21 Frank, if you're gonna be open and up front like you are during most of the video, why not just state the famous Tibetan teacher's name? What are you so reticent or afraid of that you would not only NOT mention his name, but go even further by specifically pointing out to us that you WILL NOT mention his name?
Why does he keep referring to death as a she?
ValhalaFiveSix It's gender inclusivity baby ;)
Why, should women be denied the role?
He is probably a heterodeathual
I think death is like a female energy (symbolic of course) because a female brings life into this world and perhaps "she" comes to take it as well.
In Spanish death is a feminine word

Funny, how death is a Her
Funny, how death is a Her, not a Him to the speaker. To me it is an It, like the infinit one, nor a He, nor a She, but an all be.
He only says "She" because he is linking that from the story he just told about the man in Babylon, where Death appeared to him as a woman.
@@PeterOzanne You're only guessing (just like me) and yet you have the audacity to claim to know something you really do not. Silence.
In some languages, such as French, the word death is a feminine noun: la mort. However, Death ought not to be associated with any gender.
