The ever-present possibility of death in daily life

The awareness of death and impermanence, combined with the humble acceptance of the fact that this event could occur for ourselves at any moment, is a wonderful way to help keep focused in our life and in our practice. This meditation was offered to a group who were sitting a retreat, however the broad examples given could be relevant to most of us at any time.

I hope that this meditation may be a gift that inspires both calm and focus in the present – wherever you find yourself now.

With loving-kindness,
