Would you be willing to share more about your fear of death? I'm curious about what that's rooted in alongside a belief in reincarnation. Fear of pain? Of getting a bad lot the next time around? Of the possibility of being wrong? Something else?

My own fear of death is fear of nonexistence (I'm atheist), and of the pain of loss (of myself and loved ones). A little bit physical pain too.

Mostly fear of pain during the transition out of the body and also not wanting to leave my current circumstances. I am not afraid of the next lifetime because I'm doing my best this lifetimr to prepare
