I actually got energized as I wandered through the Enchanted Spirit site the other day. Good vibes seemed to dance off the screen.

There is only one certain fact, and that is that every one of us will die one day. Yet, most of us go about our lives as if death only happens to other people. As young people, we feel immortal.
As we get older, we study ways to prolong our lives through exercise, diet and a range of other precautions. Our society goes to incredible lengths to conceal death from us. It is even possible to go for many years in the West, even an entire lifetime, without ever seeing a dead person.
All of this is a delusory way to live. The one inevitable prediction we can make is our own death. However, it seems to affect very little of what we do on a daily basis. So, what should we do and how can we live healthily, and yet also have an awareness of our own mortality to guide us?
The first thing to say is that your attitude to death is largely determined by the meaning you give to it. The life you live results largely from this one belief. If you believe that death is the end, you will naturally tend to focus entirely upon this one life, and attempt to extract maximum pleasure, prosperity and longevity from it. However, if you believe in rebirth, your attitude will be quite different. Thus, the life we live is largely determined by our views on death.
Excessive focus on acquiring earthly possessions, purely for their own sake, is a foolish approach to life. As you know, you will not be taking any of it away with you when you go. The Buddhists paint an interesting picture of a man who has fallen off a cliff and is rapidly heading to his death. On the way down, he achieves great wealth, builds a palace for himself, and even has other people, who have also fallen off the cliff, give him praise and attention. Yet, the only certainty is that he is going to hit the ground, and when he does, it is all over! Funny analogy? That is what almost every one of us is doing right now.
Understand this. There is nothing wrong with experiencing abundance and seeking the best in life in all ways possible.
However, the attachment, the mental attitude, is key. Instead of materialistic obsessions, we should work to develop detachment. This does NOT mean you have to abandon your wealth, possessions, your friends. In and of themselves, these are not evil in any way.
In "Joyful Path Of good Fortune", Geshe Kelsang Gyatso lists the eight worldly attitudes we should strive to be free of:
- (1) Being pleased when receiving resources and respect;
- (2) Being displeased when NOT receiving resources and respect;
- (3) Being pleased when experiencing pleasure;
- (4) Being displeased when NOT experiencing pleasure;
- (5) Being pleased when enjoying a good reputation;
- (6) Being displeased when NOT enjoying a good reputation;
- (7) Being pleased when receiving praise;
- (8) Being displeased when NOT receiving praise.
