About this episode
Noah Levine discusses the practice of mindfulness in relation to death and impermanence.
Mindfulness of the body eventually leads to the contemplation of death and impermanence. The Buddha taught reflecting on the body not just through breath and sensation, but through decay, decomposition, and the reality that all bodies die. This isn’t meant to be morbid—it’s a direct practice of waking up to impermanence and letting go of attachment. What is your relationship with death? What happens to the body when you die?
