Death is one of the most central and profound teachings within Buddhism. In the Buddhist tradition, death is understood not as an absolute end, but as a transition within the cycle of life and rebirth known as samsara. This perspective allows death to be viewed differently, not as something to be feared, but as an opportunity for liberation from suffering. Buddhists believe that by understanding the nature of death, we can live more fully, with greater wisdom, compassion and detachment.
One of the key lessons is the bardThe state in between death and rebirth, where the conditions we have cultivated in our lives determine our experiences and the next step in our spiritual journey. Through practices of meditation and reflection on death, Buddhism seeks to prepare practitioners to face this moment with calm and clarity. In everyday life, this awareness of death encourages us to live more ethically, compassionately and consciously, fostering a deeper relationship with the present and the well-being of all beings.
