From A Buddhist Point Of View, The Actual Experience Of Death Is Very Important. Although How Or Where We Will Be Reborn Is Generally Dependent On Karmic Forces, Our State Of Mind At The Time Of Death Can Influence The Quality Of Our Next Rebirth. So At The Moment Of Death, In Spite Of The Great Variety Of Karmas We Have Accumulated, If We Make A Special Effort To Generate A Virtuous State Of Mind, We May Strengthen And Activate A Virtuous Karma, And So Bring About A Happy Rebirth.
