{"product_id":"2326","title":"Buddhist Reflections on Death","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe author V.F. Gunaratne discusses the importance of contemplating the subject of death, a reality of life that is so often avoided and ignored. Using explanations and examples from the Pāli Canon, Gunaratne shows us the direct relation between an understanding of death and development in wisdom and knowledge of ultimate truths. Various approaches to the understanding of death are explored using concepts such as fear of death, infatuation with sense pleasures, the law of \u003cem\u003ekamma\u003c\/em\u003e, the attachment and delusion of self in the five aggregates, the law of \u003cem\u003eanicca\u003c\/em\u003e or impermanence, the law of Dependent Origination or conditionality, and the law of becoming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBetween 1958 and 2002, a total of 334 individual physical Wheel Publication booklets were published by the Buddhist Publication Society (BPS).
