Die While Alive: Zen Meditation on Death

Zen meditation on death is a practice that can help us to let go of our fear of death and to live more fully in the present moment.

In the West, death is often seen as a taboo subject. We don't like to talk about it, and we certainly don't want to think about it. But in Zen Buddhism, death is seen as a natural part of life. It is something that we all must face, and it is something that we can learn from.
