Has anyone tracked down where in the Gospel of Matthew we can find the precepts? This is very important to know for any Christian relatives who are close to death.
Here’s a list of the exact sources and verses from the Book of Matthew: 1. Matthew 5:21-22 - Teaching on anger (parallel to refraining from harm). 2. Matthew 5:27-28 - Teaching on adultery (parallel to refraining from sexual misconduct). 3. Matthew 5:33-37 - Teaching on oaths (parallel to truthful speech). 4. Matthew 5:38-39 - Teaching on nonviolence (parallel to refraining from harm and retaliation). 5. Matthew 5:43-44 - Teaching on loving enemies (parallel to cultivating compassion).
The last thought before dying isn't that important! Buddha said that what you did in your lifetime, where your heart is developed that decides where your next life is starting. We don't need to fear one though at the end! (S55,21)
The last mind in this life ( which of course will be influenced by the type of life led..), becomes the first mind in the next life ...the last mind determines the place of rebirth and as such is massively important ....

Matthew 5 seems to have lots of useful ethical advice that might resonate with Christians.
7:11 Bhante talks about his father's death
Sadhu, sadhu, sadhu!
