Death in Christian and Buddhist Traditions: to the Problem-setting

Abstract

Talking about death becomes important when religious, philosophical, historical, cultural, medical and all sorts of other explanations do not hide from us the per­sonal inevitability of this event. Christianity does not conquer death, it trans­forms it. From the everyday death flows life and from the possession of life death is more mortified. The more death in death (sin), the more Life (Christ) in life. Buddhism, even after understanding death and learning to die correctly, still stops at the mysteriousness of such an event. It is not so important what kind of death, “Buddhist” or “Christian” awaits a person, more important is what he experiences in it.
