- How do you explain to kids /family members who may be dying - that it is all irrelevant?
- Is it ok to plant 'seeds' in children's mind of our beliefs?
- Do these teachings give emotional succor or are they mere intellectual construct?
- Not born, not dies - organ donation - does it make sense?
-Living in the present is not chronological time - it is living in the dimension of eternality
-Do scriptures talk of euthanasia? Abortion?
-When we die, is it happy event or sad event?
