^ I would find that fascinating. Somehow doubt it would ever come anywhere near my town, though. I used to watch the anatomy show on TV where they would cut up cadavers and show how the tendons worked, etc.

Since you admire the Dalai Lama you might find this interesting. I have attended Chod ceremonies where it was used.I got to blow one just to see what it was like,not during the ceremony.Just to see. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kangling

Does sense of impending death count? It's not an anxiety thing, just a constant awareness that seems to be accepted fact. I always find myself thinking I really have to get [whatever] done, asap, it has to be now and can't take delays - because I'll be dead soon, and I want to at least do [whatever] before I die. But then again, I've been living on borrowed time for years now. Maybe it's just residual that.
