Discussion Meditations for the sick and dying

[YourNeighbor]

Many here are hurt or sick, each in our own way. I am no Buddhist, but try to appreciate wisdom whenever I come across it (if it's not over my head).

The following, on mediations for the sick and dying, may be worth a read for some. Focusing on the present, and the good in the moment however small, brings me some relief occasionally, even if it's temporary. I wish I had made more conscious and sustained efforts to seek peace when young (it is hard, takes much effort). It would have yielded immense dividends.

Thanks. In addition, there's many audio talks on ITALK, free play, about Dharma and death. Buddhism has helped me to confront death as part of living.. My situation perhaps different to many here, due to physical illness, I have lost my fear of death. I see life as an inevitable path to death because everyone and all.things are impermanent.
