We cannot hope to die peacefully if our lives have been full of violence, or if our minds have mostly been agitated by emotions like anger, attachment, or fear. So if we wish to die well, we must learn how to live well: Hoping for a peaceful death, we must cultivate peace in our mind, and in our way of life.

The wise man seeks death all his life, and for this reason death is not terrifying to him.

I don't believe in death, neither in flesh nor in spirit.

I'm not afraid of death because I don't believe in it. It's just getting out of one car, and into another.
