In Buddhism, death is viewed as a natural part of the life cycle, emphasizing the impermanence of all things. Buddhists believe that life is a continuous process of birth, death, and rebirth, known as samsara. The ultimate goal is to achieve nirvana, a state of liberation from this cycle, which is attained through spiritual practice and enlightenment. When facing death, Buddhists often engage in rituals and meditative practices to cultivate mindfulness and acceptance. The Tibetan Book of the Dead provides guidance on navigating the transition between life and the afterlife, helping individuals understand the process of dying and the importance of a peaceful mind at the moment of death.
