Oakville Zen Meditation
Is there life after death?
This is a frequent question since we are always worried about ourselves and about the future.
The real question is not whether or not we will be alive after our death.
The real question is whether or not we are alive before it. 🙂
In fact to know if we are still alive after our death does not make a lot of sense since one may ask: “How do you know that you are dead?”
When we are alive we are conscious of it but when we are dead how do we know that we are indeed dead since our consciousness is gone somewhere else.
Since our mind is trapped in the concept "space-time" what is before birth and after death cannot be comprehended.
The past is made of nostalgia and regrets.
The future is made of hope and fear.
The present is the only gift that why it is called present.
Thanks.
