Change is the natural way of things

Change is the natural way of things. That is why monks and nuns turn over their tea cup after drinking their tea. They don’t know which will come first, the next tea or the next life. Death is like tossing out a worn-out pair of clothes. When our body wears out, we take a new one. We reincarnate. Advanced practitioners actually experience death in this way. Even ordinary people like ourselves, can reflect on this again and again. The dying process will be easier. There will be less fear and less anxiety. If we are a little open to the possibility of multiple lives, we can reflect on the fact that we’ve gone through the dying process limitless times. Going through it again becomes not a big issue. Emaho!
