We are taught that death is not a stranger.
The Dhamma teaches about the ever presence of impermanence and the frail nature of life.
Every day our lives brings us a day closer to our death.
And death can come in so many ways: cancer, stroke and heart attacks being the common expectation. But death may also appear suddenly long before any illness creeps in. In the Dhammapada, the Buddha describes the approach of death as ".. a flood that sweeps away a village sleeping in the night".
