Todayand#8217;s
FBA Dharmabyte, and#8220;Tasting
Fear,and#8221; by Kulaprabha is an an excerpt from the talk
and#8220;Spiritual
Death, Fear and Fearlessness.and#8221; Spiritual Death is about
death of our fixed, bounded self, the self that is made up of
bundled habits and preferences and views and#8211; especially views
about existence and non-existence. So donand#8217;t be surprised
if, when contemplating the impermanence and unreliability of that
small self, you taste fear. Itand#8217;s natural enough in the
circumstances. After all, fine to talk loftily about and#8216;dying
to oneand#8217;s egoand#8217;, but who will be left after
thatand#8217;s done? Where will and#8216;Iand#8217; be?
