Letting Go of the Ones We Love

Death is part of life and should not be seen as a negative event. Understanding reincarnation can help us accept death. We should also let go of the negative part of our grief in order to move forward. Ajahn Brahm discusses the importance of understanding death and how it relates to the meaning of life. He share personal experiences, such as the death of his father and his work with individuals facing death or loss. Ajahn Brahm believes that death teaches us to appreciate life and to focus on spiritual values such as kindness and generosity. — This dhamma talk was originally recorded in 29th February 2008.
