" "If one is able to convey to the dying person that his mind is bound to this decaying body only for the present life span, it is calming. If one adds that mind is beyond death and birth, like space, emerging appearances of confusion and aging become more acceptable. This view confers the often missing dignity on the last part of life. It helps the dying to increasingly relax, and oneself to face one’s own death more fearlessly.

Additional quotes by Ole Nydahl

The increased intimacy in love relationships leads to an exceptionally fast ripening of both beings’ good and bad impressions in mind.
