Mindfulness of Death & the Deathless: Facing Impermanence

Make the breath comfortable so that it’s a good place to stay. But keep reminding yourself: You’re here in the present moment, not because the present moment is a wonderful place or because it’s the only place to be—what they call the “eternal present.” You’re here because there’s work to be done here. That’s always the Buddha’s focus: Every time he talks about the importance of focusing on the present moment, it’s always in the context of mindfulness of death and the work that needs to be done. As he says, do your duty right now, right now. You’re not hankering after the future, you’re not dwelling on the past. You’re focusing on what’s appearing right now, and then doing your duty with regard to it—which is training the mind so it can let go of its cravings, and not to slide so easily into its states of becoming. ☸️ True revolution doesn’t begin in society — it begins in the mind. The Buddha did not wage war against social systems or external structures. Instead, he pointed directly at the roots of suffering: greed, aversion, and delusion. That inner work is the revolution that still matters today. 💡 “There’s nothing more beneficial than straightening out your own mind.” This teaching is a reminder of your own power — the power to change, to cultivate clarity, and to take responsibility for what truly shapes your life and the world around you. 🙏 Subscribe for weekly Theravāda wisdom — insightful talks on freedom, integrity, and the mind that creates both suffering and liberation.
