Buddhist Attitude to Death | Ajahn Brahm | Ajahn Brahm Podcast

The mind can leave the body, and in death, consciousness survives. There doesn't seem to be a set amount of time it takes to rebirth, as it depends on our general attitude and certain actions that we may have taken while alive. The Buddhist attitude to death and dying is different to our Western perspective because it's based on acceptance of what is happening, rather than grieving and feeling pain. Suicide is never the answer. We are reborn in similar lives because of attachments to things such as love, craving, or guilt. --- You can find the text transcription and other related information on the Ajahn Brahm Podcast website (https://www.everydaydhamma.net/show/a....
