Preparing for [experience at death] begins with simply being who we are and where we are in this very moment. If we want to be successful in terms of experiencing our death and journey after death, then we have to master the experience of nowness. Whatever we are going through, that is who we are in that moment. When we speak about nowness, we are not talking about anything external, so we should not look for it outside. We should look directly at the space of our immediate experience, which is always right in front of us--the space that is neither yours nor mine, neither theirs nor ours.
--Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche, Mind Beyond Death
