The temperature was heating up as we hiked into the subtropical valley. The valley floor had lotsa trees in addition to grasses that are very tall. The grasses were often 6 to 8 foot tall. It was a walk with this fall day with sun coming through the trees and crispy leaves underfoot.

Death is a mystery to most of us. While we’re uncertain as to how and when it will come, we are certain that it will. All things compounded die to modify form.

Mindfulness meditation. A practice Buddhists call buddha and his dhamma or insight meditation, meditation is the art of getting aware of what’s here. You concentrate on what is happening in and around you at this moment, and become aware of feelings and all the thoughts which are taking your energy from moment to moment. You can start by viewing your breath, then move your focus to the feelings in your body the thoughts going through your head, as well as the sounds and sights around you. The key is to watch without assessing or estimating.
We are not looking to control anything or to hold on to anything. Simply be aware of what is arising and disappearing in this moment without holding on to anything.
I really don’t like the term”rebirth.” I would rather use the phrase dhamma “relinking.” In the Abidhamma, we learn that what exist are conditions. Mind is a reality.Because mind is within substance, it doesn’t move from one place to another. Maybe this is difficult. Matter is. 1 characteristic of mind is that it does not move. What makes mind arise is the existence of conditions. That is why the expression”relinking” is more appropriate to understand that when we die, we are”reborn.” It is not that some thoughts is reborn in another. Another mind arises and it’s related according to specific conditions.
There will not be a transition out of the world since the mind is too entangled in the wrong ways with worldly concerns dominated mind into the , spiritual being that is free. There might be perceived religious progress, but only the progress that you imagine. What you think and do about constantly night and all day are the indicators of where you’re headed and where you are.
