It cannot be that I'll die? I'd say there is strong scientific evidence that I'll die.cappuccino wrote: ↑Mon Jan 10, 2022 11:42 pmwhich would be totally fine, even good

Well, from a scientific perspective your verbal expression qualifies as BS.
My view.Ontheway wrote: ↑Mon Jan 10, 2022 6:23 pm It seems the West is quite obsessed with Death and Suicide. Now we have this "Sarco Pod" in Switzerland. The company claimed that it gives a painless death and it is guaranteed the user will die painless, peaceful, and stylishly. I wonder how they get those feedback ...from Oujia Board maybe?

What would be Buddhism's take on this Sarco Pod thing? Sarco-device.jpg
Personally I think it is unwholesome...
This is not about suicide due to mental issues but purely from a physical viewpoint.And soon after the Blessed One had eaten the meal provided by Cunda the metalworker, a dire sickness fell upon him, even dysentery, and he suffered sharp and deadly pains. But the Blessed One endured them mindfully, clearly comprehending and unperturbed.
"No, friend Ananda, the Blessed One has not passed away. He has entered the state of the cessation of perception and feeling."
11. Then the Blessed One, rising from the cessation of perception and feeling, entered the sphere of neither-perception-nor-non-perception. Rising from the attainment of the sphere of neither-perception-nor-non-perception, he entered the sphere of nothingness. Rising from the attainment of the sphere of nothingness, he entered the sphere of infinite consciousness. Rising from the attainment of the sphere of infinite consciousness, he entered the sphere of infinite space. Rising from the attainment of the sphere of infinite space, he entered the fourth jhana. Rising from the fourth jhana, he entered the third jhana. Rising from the third jhana, he entered the second jhana. Rising from the second jhana, he entered the first jhana.
Rising from the first jhana, he entered the second jhana. Rising from the second jhana, he entered the third jhana. Rising from the third jhana, he entered the fourth jhana. And, rising from the fourth jhana, the Blessed One immediately passed away.
