When we get caught up in wanting things to be other than they are is when we start to experience suffering.

As long as there is hatred in our hearts, there will be hatred in the world. May we continually strive to eradicate hatred from our own.
Noah Roshetta
In our day-to-day lives, we are continually making meaning and creating stories about everything that happens. A thought arises, we create a story about it. The story evokes an emotion. We create another story about that. And on and on until, before we know it, we are hardly paying attention to our lived reality at all, trapped in a habitual reactivity to our own thoughts.

No-Nonsense Buddhism for Beginners by Noah Rasheta.
To be enlightened is to be liberated from our habitual reactivity- freed from our perceptions and ideas- in order to see reality as it is without wanting it to be different.

As some of you may recall from the Death Land earlier, there was actual Death Meditation on display – not just meditation itself, but meditation on the thought of death.
This was done through contemplating the nine truths of death, which included: the fact that in 100 years everyone alive now will be dead (for the most part), our lifespan is constantly decreasing, death will come regardless of preparation, human life expectancy is uncertain, there are many causes of death, the human body is fragile, our material resources are of no use at the time of death, our friends cannot help us against death, our body cannot help us against death.
Yet, there are more contemplations, or perhaps, more ways to contemplate death!
One can focus on the decomposition of the corpse, acknowledging the phases the corpse goes through, such as when it is swollen, when it is being eaten by carrion creatures, when it is a skeleton, and when that skeleton is only dust.
One can also focus on the ways death is brought about – such as by a murderer.
One can contemplate on how all will meet death – the great and the not so great.
Meditating on death arriving without occasion – just suddenly, no announcement, no fanfare.
Meditation on death is a quintessential buddhist practice, though it isn’t isolated there. Still, it does remind me of what supposedly started the Buddha’s career, and that was the sights of an old man, a sick man, and a corpse. Realization of death and decay brought about all of this.
I looked through youtube for an example of good meditation on it. The first one I found started out good, but then became spiritual, ruining the experience – and I mean that as they said that the only thing to cultivate were spiritual practices, because the spirit is all that survives, so…yeah, not applicable here.
There is this one, though, which is rather short:
It definitely makes you think about death.
“Death will come in an ordinary moment.”
