"Letting go of our attachments is something we should practice mindfully in our daily lives.
Otherwise we cannot maintain a calm and clear mind at the last moment of our lives....
When a tree is cut and falls, it comes down on the heavier side, the side with many branches.
Since the departed spirit usually follows its attachment, the practice of non attachment is very important when one is dying...."
