0:00 - Introduction and discussion of the death meditation
Settling into the meditation:
10:15 - briefly sitting in silence
11:12 - relaxing into the body
16:05 - noticing the delight of withdrawing into the refuge within (“your private little cave”, safe from the world and its problems)
20:10 - final preamble to the death contemplation (including permission to stop anytime if you get upset)
20:59 - beginning the actual meditation/visualization, by imagining oneself alone in a room...

This one had me weeping. The weep when you are falling in love and you see the beauty of life around you. Then the wave of letting go. It was the first time I've done this meditation. Thank you and love 💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏

I was suprised during this meditation, I always think that in the moment of dying I will feel scared and anxious, but thinking about it I actually felt a very beautiful peace.

[@nhuongtran4412]

Thank you for your lesson. Wishing all of your monastery well. Bowing

[@upatissa4772]

at 09:10 ajahn brahmali mentions that skillfully letting go allows for a *good death* instead of *good rebirth* ー that's profound indeed … sadhu sadhu sadhu!

[@poetryjones7946]

I just noticed how much Ajahn Brahmali looks like Laurence Olivier.

[@langdonrodda]

Yes! Even his voice has a similar depth...

[@poetryjones7946]

Maybe they’re long lost brothers 🤭

Hello Friends everyone hope you are all well,

I had to stop the meditation. It was too intense for me at this point.

We use Andrographis to treat ourselves from Coronavirus and respect to the Lord Buddha, precepts and his teaching the angels will protect us from all bad things

[@vytautaskunevicius9731]

this is hypnosis with the taste of tranquilizers, but not the Buddha teaching and right meditation. good times for a cheeky deceivers, for so simple business . the spiritual criminals.

[@thejjjwils]

Maybe, or the earth is flat
