Facing Mortality to Live a Meaningful Life
Reflecting on mortality and the fleeting nature of life has been a tradition in monastic practices since centuries to remind individuals of the preciousness of life and the importance of living meaningfully. In the modern age, distractions such as technology and entertainment have made it easier for individuals to veer off course from what truly matters, leading to a culture of triviality.
