This episode is a talk given by the Thai forest meditation master Ajahn Tate and is titled “Marana-sati - Mindfulness of Death”. In this dhamma talk Ajahn Tate explains the benefits of maransati, and gives advice on how to practice it. This is a really strong talk that will be of benefit for those who’ve been practicing meditation for some time and want to sharpen up their mindfulness. It may not be the best advice for beginners, so if you are a beginner, or if you are prone to depression or suicidal ideation, this is not the talk for you. There will be other talks available soon that will focus on uplifting the mind that would be better.
