Buddhist and Christian Views On Death and Faith
| Faith helps Us to Be Strong |
Recently my mother died and I spent many weeks by her side in a hospice before she passed away. My day to day life became focused on death and dying and I was forced to broach my own mortality once again. The Buddhist teachings on death and impermanence were very valuable to me and helped me through this difficult time, although I am still sceptical about reincarnation I find it a more likely outcome than heaven, but at the end of my mother's life it was faith that kept her strong and fearless in the face of death. She really belived that heaven was waiting for her.
