As we have seen it the discussion on the concept of life, Buddhism considers every moment in
life of great importance, for it is the moment in which one constructs one's own destiny, More
emphasis, however, is placed on the last moment in life, or the dying process, in which all the
five aggregates of existence are disintegrating. For in Buddhist thought in this last moment the
last stage of consciousness (cuti vinana) of one's life is passing away to give place to a new stage
of consciousness (patisanthi vinana), which will form another life by its new association with the
new aggregates of existence. Even if the character of the new life is affected by the whole
previous life, the nature of the last conscious state still contributes significantly to the quality of
the ensuing one. If it is wholesome (kusala), this will produce a wholesome inauguration of the
new life. Similarly, if it is unwholesome (akusala), the ensuing new life will be unwholesomely
inaugurated.
Consequently, it is of great importance that special care should be given to enable the dying to
die a "good death" i.e. a calm, and happy peaceful death which will occur only when the mind of
the dying is clear and subtle, never be impaired by analgesics or sedatives. Impairment by drugs
would affect the consciousness of the dying person and make it impossible to fill his mind with
wholesome and happy thought.
In this respect Buddhism enriches the philosophy of the hospice movement, devoted to the full
physical, psychological, social and special care of the dying, and reaffirms the significance of the
dignity and importance of death and the need for spiritual care. Buddhism also teaches that
removing one's thought focused on the pain of death can be done through specific meditations,
which are usually mastered only after years of practice. By using these specific meditations one
