Still kind of ancestor season. I heard yesterday of a Buddhist teacher who in the depths of COVID had contacted his master to say he thought he was going to die. The master replied "so what." That contains all the teachings to me. (Well obviously that is master to his student, you wouldn't say that to anyone.) But the point here is that the unconditional mind does not care for the day to day of the conditional. Body and Consciousness are just sounds in the silence. The silence is still there long after they are gone. Worrying about dying is like realising that the music concert will end - obviously in the auditorium at the time that is everything, but in the grand scheme outside it is nothing.
