The Importance of Death Meditation

In Tibetan Buddhism, there is a long-rich death meditation history. The renowned 11th century teacher Atisa had nine meditations on this theme. I think it's really important and it's one thing that we don't do culturally is have a deep consideration of death which can frame the miracle of being alive to an even greater degree. If you knew you were going to die in a couple of days, you wouldn't be such a dick,. You would find a way to be more kind.
