Ayya Khema is talking about an operation in november 1995, so this video must be filmed in 1996. The videographer of this clip is Ann Hershey. Ayya Khema died in november 1997

You are that "good teacher". Thank you so much.

Thanks for uploading & sharing this video. Do you know when this was filmed? I understand Ayya Khema has since died, was that long after this video? I have just read her book 'Being Nobody, Going Nowhere' & found it very valuable.

She is a great vipassana meditation teacher. Please make a documentary video about her teachings.

'It's just letting go and dissappearing, and it's very nice.' Ayya Khema compares dying to going on a vacation (a permanent one I suppose). Why is longing for death considered wrong, if dying is so great?

Papier Speelt because desire for anything (including death) leads to suffering. the desire for death is a form of self mortification, and does not adhere to the ways of the middle path
