Being With Old Age and Death (Link #598)

Speaker: Sybil Boutilier. Sybil reflects on the importance of meeting old age and death with wisdom and confidence. In our ignorance, we have imprisoned ourselves in a net of self-cherishing. To navigate old age and death with less fear and suffering, we need to cultivate bodhicitta, acknowledge our regrets, and forgive ourselves and others. Preparing for death in this way enables us to create the conditions that make it possible to have a good rebirth.
