“Our consciousness is like a television with many channels.  When we push the button on the remote control, the channel we choose appears.  When we sit by the bedside of a dying person, we have to know which channel to call up.  Those who are closest to the dying person are in the best position to do this.  If you are accompanying someone who is dying, use those sounds and images from the life of the person that will water the seeds of their greatest happiness.  In the consciousness of everyone are the seeds of the Pure Land and of nirvana, of the kingdom of God and of paradise.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh, No Death, No Fear
