14. Explain and evaluate the views of Sogyal Rinpoche regarding death and human activity in the modern world

Sogyal had a perspective of death as being meaningful and significant. He proposes that death isn't the final and that our present life is just the start of a journey. In his view, he stated that anyone who feared death was not aware of the reality as he proposed that fearing death will prompt an individual to live a selfish life of which we may result to death of our environment. Having a clear understanding of what comes in at the end of life is the gateway to the whole understanding of life and the variation of an individual understanding on life.

Sogyal Rinpoche view seeks to help humans find the interrelationship among a good death and a happy life. If an individual dies peacefully, it will result into a better afterlife. He clearly expressed that Death is not a thing to be scared of as to die a good death. It is important that an individaul improve and grow towards a good life.

explanation: we can only guess at how our actions may be perceived in the future. doing something really big like killing lots of people, saving lots of people, affecting the lives of lots of people is a sure fire way of being remembered in historical records. we can also make a difference in the history records by being a small influence on something bigger, whether that is as a civil servant, scientist or artist.

of course you could argue that we all affect history just as tiny cogs in a   bigger machine.

if you mean how do people influence our opinions of things which have already happened, then simply by writing a book which looks at things form a different perspective and trying to convince people that this perspective is more accurate or truthful. people do it all the time i.e. richard the third was a terrible or was he? plenty would disagree, it's just that their views aren't the most widely known.n:

the noble might have thought that the system was far because they had lot of things and riches and the serf would have thought that the feudal system was un fair because of the way they were treated.
