      @@bigfoottroisiemepartielave1759 Once a teacher of my highschool accompanied some upper classmates to check universities to choose when they graduate. One of them was a high prestige here in my city, one student got all braggy and condescendent with my classmates (our highschool was a mid tier one, but bear in mind that these were all scholarship candidates), and he got so mad for how he treated his students that he went door from door in the university, blasting them open to find the respective person to have the student chastised. He said he wasn't even looking at door signs and interrupted a few classes before, due to his rashness, inadvertently opening the morgue (this was in the medical faculty) and saw a dead body completely open, organs exposed and ready for a class.
      He said that the shock was so great that he immediately calmed down and when he found the right person to complain he did it calmly and not in rage as he expected himself to do so.
      So while I haven't seen a corpse in person, I can infer it has to be a shocking sight.

      In the apartment building where I used to live, a neighbor died.
      He was in the apartment directly below mine.
      For maybe a week, according to what the police later said, he lay on his living room floor decaying.
      All of us in the building could smell something terrible, but I think we didn't want to believe it was what it really was and so we just ignored it.
      The smell got so bad that we couldn't ignore it and the police came and busted in his door.
      They interviewed us all and for whatever reason had me come down and identify him.
      I remember his lips and eyes were rotted away, his skin had begun to turn yellow/brown in spots and his hands were curled up near his chest.

And, unfortunately, here in the US it would only be considered animal cruelty and wouldn’t get them any kind of adequate consequences if they were caught and went to trial. They might be out in 5-10 years doing it again.

      Its better if you admit there are things in life you will never be able to understand or comprehend. Its just a process of life one will inevitably go through so why not go ahead and get yourself familiar with the ugly truth of life. In Buddism teaching, separation of mind and body is just a fundamental step. Our bodies merely serve as a vessel for our mind and soul to inhabit. Once those two are gone, it gets decomposed and destroyed as nature intends. Just a simple process of life. By oversimplification, Buddism is all about to be one with law of nature and escape from the earthly world through enlightenment after all. When you reach Nirvana, there's no cycle of life, rebirth or reincarnation therefore no repeated suffering of living and dying. Your existence just simply vanish (for lack of a better word) from the universe.

      @@yanwestsid3 that's some enlightenment. 😒 Imagine living a boring existence your entire life following the buddhist path, only to reach a fantasy land that likely never existed because no living human has lived to tell the tale of such a place's existence after they die... And what happens after one achieves enlightenment and ascends to nirvana? Do they repeatedly chant sutras and mantras for all eternity in the voids of space and time until their existence fade into nothingness? Life is only given once in this impure mortal realm, and therefore, is meant to be experienced for all it has to offer. Not indulging in what life has to offer is the TRUE waste here. Be it if such indulgences are temporary or not. Chasing after enlightenment when knowing there are things that are simply unknowable and unattainable is pointless and absolutely meaningless. Why? Because such pursuit never ends. And all for what exactly? Nothing. For enlightenment is also temporary. One will not remember such thing as one fades from existence.

    I love te way death is observed in Buddhism. My sensei used to wear a Nenju (rosary) whose beads were made of human and animal bones. He said that it reminds him impermanence, our precious time that fades constantly and the value of each moment alive.

      Yes, the remembrance of death is really important in every Buddhist school. I'm a Jodo Shu Buddhist now, but before I was of the Gelug school and both emphasize that remembering our own mortality is a great motivation. In Gelug to practice harder and avoid a bad reincarnation where you can't practice Dharma, and in Jodo Shu to increase our reliance in Amida Buddha by remembering that Birth in the Pure Land is the only way to avoid losing the chance to reach Non-Retrogression and avoid a bad rebirth after death.

      I think so. I've read about Buddhist Hijiri (wandering holy men) and their charitative works while travelling. One that is very common is, ¨Burying the dead discarded on the roadside and giving them a proper funeral ceremony in the open by themselves.¨ So I guess it happened often.

      In ancient times (not only japan) many "rituals" were performed for corpses, like leaving it at the top of a hill to be closer to heaven, leaving it in the woods to be eaten by animals, or even leaving it over a table as some sort funeral. Later, they realized that this wasnt very hygienic and massive graves were created to dump all the bodies, only wealthy people had the privilege to have a personal grave. This also was changed over time and now everybody have the right for a personal grave.

    Many other Buddist traditions do meditation on corpeses too. In Thailand for example one can donate their body, so that after dying they can cook the body which makes is easy to take apart without too much mess, and meditate on the different body parts. It is not common anymore though. Most of the decaying body meditations are done without an actual corpse. They do also do meditation at the graveyard, but this is more to overcome fear of the supernatural.

    There was a very strange feature in this case, strange because of its extremely rare occurrence. This man had once been brought to the scaffold in company with several others, and had had the sentence of death by shooting passed upon him for some political crime. Twenty minutes later he had been reprieved and some other punishment substituted; but the interval between the two sentences, twenty minutes, or at least a quarter of an hour, had been passed in the certainty that within a few minutes he must die. I was very anxious to hear him speak of his impressions during that dreadful time, and I several times inquired of him as to what he thought and felt. He remembered everything with the most accurate and extraordinary distinctness, and declared that he would never forget a single iota of the experience. ‘About twenty paces from the scaffold, where he had stood to hear the sentence, were three posts, fixed in the ground, to which to fasten the criminals (of whom there were several). The first three criminals were taken to the posts, dressed in long white tunics, with white caps drawn over their faces, so that they could not see the rifles pointed at them. Then a group of soldiers took their stand opposite to each post. My friend was the eighth on the list, and therefore he would have been among the third lot to go up. A priest went about among them with a cross: and there was about five minutes of time left for him to live. ‘He said that those five minutes seemed to him to be a most interminable period, an enormous wealth of time; he seemed to be living, in these minutes, so many lives that there was no need as yet to think of that last moment, so that he made several arrangements, dividing up the time into portions-one for saying farewell to his companions, two minutes for that; then a couple more for thinking over his own life and career and all about himself; and another minute for a last look around. He remembered having divided his time like this quite well. While saying good- bye to his friends he recollected asking one of them some very usual everyday question, and being much interested in the answer. Then having bade farewell, he embarked upon those two minutes which he had allotted to looking into himself; he knew beforehand what he was going to think about. He wished to put it to himself as quickly and clearly as possible, that here was he, a living, thinking man, and that in three minutes he would be nobody; or if somebody or something, then what and where? He thought he would decide this question once
    for all in these last three minutes. A little way off there stood a church, and its gilded spire glittered in the sun. He remembered staring stubbornly at this spire, and at the rays of light sparkling from it. He could not tear his eyes from these rays of light; he got the idea that these rays were his new nature, and that in three minutes he would become one of them, amalgamated somehow with them. ‘The repugnance to what must ensue almost immediately, and the uncertainty, were dreadful, he said; but worst of all was the idea, ‘What should I do if I were not to die now? What if I were to return to life again? What an eternity of days, and all mine! How I should grudge and count up every minute of it, so as to waste not a single instant!’ He said that this thought weighed so upon him and became such a terrible burden upon his brain that he could not bear it, and wished they would shoot him quickly and have done with it.’⁴

And then liquefaction, where the soft tissue is just ooze. Then the denser cartilage breaks down and the bones separate. The processing of a body out in the open is faster because it’s aided by insects and animals, along with the direct exposure to the weather and external bacteria. It’s super gross 🤮 but returning to the earth after we die is one of the most important things that we do as humans. We come from the earth and to the earth we should return.

The nuns would spend a night or two in that room with their dead and often decaying sisters to meditate on death in a manner similar to this video. The Catholic concept of sainty relics is another one: holiness is a ravaging grace that will hollow you out as it tears your soul from death and into eternal life, and the fact that these holy men and women still go through death and leave behind bodies reminds us mortals that it is possible to achieve sanctity.

      They eat food because it is necessary to eat the food to live. You can live without intercourse but not food.
      If you will die soon, then how will you gain enlightenment?
      That is done so that you will not have to even eat next time i.e. by attaining Moksha

      @@commentnahipadhaikar2339 I appreciate the explaination. I will say that my comment was about 90% an attempt at humor. Obviously, not very successful attempt. And 10% serious. The 10% serious wasn't a questioning the practice of celibacy, just the method they used to help them maintain it. :)
