Life & Death Study


I had been inspired by my lecture - Ven. Hui Kai during my long distance study last night. Recently we're study through a tele-conference live from Taiwan on every Friday evening. The topics we're mostly talked about is [The Meaning of Life & Death Study]. So probably my today's post seems a bit serious & bored.

I had been doing some research online, there are several information which really helps for my study & thesis. Firstly I had found the definition about [Thanatology]:

Thanatology is studied as a means towards the end of providing palliative care for dying individuals and their families. According to the World Health Organization, "palliative care is an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families facing the problem associated with life-threatening illness," involving the "treatment of pain and other problems, physical, psychosocial and spiritual." Thanatology recognizes that, ultimately, death is inevitable. It works to develop guidelines to ease the process of dying.
~~from Wikipedia~~

During our last night lesson, there are few Books which strongly recommend by our lecture as well.

1. [Life After Death]
The question of whether there is a life after death is not an issue of scientific concern, for science only deals with the classification and analysis of sense data. While man has been conducting scientific inquiries and research, in the modern sense of the term, for only the last few centuries, he has been familiar with the concept of life after death since time immemorial....

2.[The Meaning of Death]
we must create our own meaning for our lives regardless of whether or not our lives serve some higher purpose. Whether our lives are meaningful to us depends on how we judge them. The absence or presence of greater purpose is as irrelevant as the finality of death. The claim that our lives are 'ultimately' meaningless does not make sense because there is no sense in which they could be meaningful or meaningless outside of how we regard them. Questions about the meaning of life are questions about values. We attribute values to things in life rather than discovering them....



Had you ever think of probably how many years would you be lived in this world. 100++? 90++? or lesser? Do you really care about your ages?

Suddenly, I finally got an Answer deep inside my heart! It's really doesn't any matters that how long I'll be lived in this world... the most important is How you gonna spend you life right every minutes. Does you life meaningful to you every moments? When you feel that there's no regrets on every moments in your life, you would definitely lived happily & fear nothing while facing death or even shorter of life.

"Don't just only focus onto the [Lengths] of your life, But please focus into [every moments] you had in your life. Wisely spend your every single moments & filled your life with no regrets, therefor there is nothing to fear about when facing Death..."

达赖喇嘛的“西藏生死书”,和“了凡四训”都记载了如何面对死亡,在有生之年,我们地确是因该研究研究下了,不但能自救还能救人呢。
