Dhamma Info (8)

Death
 
Death being inherent,
Searching for death is truly inappropriate.
Since death being inherent,
Searching only for extinction of it is truly appropriate.
The danger of death, before its arrival,
Shall be reflected in anticipation.
Before death, if meditation is practised,
It is indeed appropriate.
When about to die, having bewilderment,
Will be inappropriate.
At death, not realizing Dhamma,
Will be a mistake.
