![Jese Leos](https://stacks.deedeebook.com/author/abe-mitchell.jpg)
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.

Zen meditation on death is a practice that can help us to become more aware of our own mortality. It can help us to let go of our attachment to life and to see that death is not something to be feared. When we realize that death is inevitable, we can start to live our lives more fully. We can stop worrying about the future and start living in the present moment.
There are many different ways to practice Zen meditation on death. One common method is to sit in a quiet place and to focus on your breath. As you breathe in, say to yourself, "I am breathing in." As you breathe out, say to yourself, "I am breathing out." Continue this practice for 10-15 minutes, or for as long as you like.
Another method of Zen meditation on death is to visualize your own death. Imagine yourself lying on your deathbed. See your loved ones gathered around you. Feel the peace and love that surrounds you. Allow yourself to die. Allow yourself to let go of your body and your mind.
This practice may seem morbid, but it can actually be very helpful. By visualizing our own death, we can become more familiar with the idea of it. We can start to let go of our fear and anxiety about death. We can start to see death as a natural part of life.
