Death from Tibetan Buddhist Perspective: Haiku

"Tibetan Buddhist philosophy views death as a transitional state, not an end, but a part of the cycle of existence (samsara). It's seen as a bardo, an intermediate state between death and rebirth, rather than a finality. This perspective emphasizes impermanence and the importance of preparing for death through practices like mindfulness and meditation," informs an AI Overview.

Here are my haiku on Tibetan Buddhist perspective on death

Life is a quagmire

Of awful cyclic lives

If you weren't mindful

Death is the mirror

To show mind shaped by our deeds

And type of rebirth

If we abide vice,

If live by non-virtuous deeds -

Face harsh rebirth stretch

No meditation

No rituals, rites are helpful -

They’re ploys, kicks of mind

Know and embrace death

As the singular prospect

To end rebirth cycle

If we're desires-free

Living moment to moment

Death will liberate

Suffer no more death -

Practice compassion-n-calmness!

Be free from cravings!
