Understanding Death Frank Ostaseski 1jT0rOREsPI
Understanding death is essential to understand life. It helps us to live a more meaningful and happy life.
On this episode, we are here with Frank Ostaseski. He’s an internationally respected Buddhist teacher, a visionary, and the founder of Metta Institute. Frank shares with us the Five Invitations or the lessons that he learned from being with people who are dying. Those invitations can be practiced to live our lives fully.
Keeping death at our fingertips reminds us not to hold on to things too tightly and to let go of fixed ideas which allows us to enter life with fresh eyes.
Key Takeaways:
Death reminds us not to hold on too tightly.
When we recognize death, we become kinder and gentler with one another.
The five invitations learned from being with people who are dying:
Don’t wait.
Welcome everything, push away nothing.
Bring your whole self to the experience.
Find a place of rest in the middle of things.
Cultivate ‘don’t know’ mind.
Saying ‘I love you’ more often to the important people in our lives is a way to practice the invitations.
The growth we made in our life happen outside our comfort zone.
The only thing we are each other is to be received as we are.
Until you look at a challenge in your life and see through it, it will be the bane of your existence.
When we're traveling, we feel re-alive, and our senses are awake.
Ignorance is not ‘not knowing.’ It’s misperception.
When we are filled with knowing, it obscures our ability to see the whole picture.
