人人都害怕死亡，主要原因是我们尚未品尝生命。了解生命的人从未惧怕死亡，他欢迎死亡。每当死亡来到，他拥抱死亡、欢迎死亡、对死亡如客人般接待。对于不了解生命的人而言，死亡是一个敌人；对了解生命的人而言，死亡是生命的终极高峰。

Everyone is afraid of death, the mainreason is that we have not tasted life yet. People who understand lifenever fear death, he welcomes death. When death comes, he embraces death,welcomes death, and receives death as a guest. For people who do notunderstand life, death is an enemy; for people who understand life, death isthe ultimate peak of life.

但是，人人都害怕死亡，那也是会传染的。你的双亲害怕死亡，你的邻居害怕死亡，小孩子开始渐渐地被周围不间断的恐惧所影响。每个人都害怕死亡，人们甚至不想谈论死亡。

However, everyone is afraid of death, whichis also contagious. Your parents are afraid of death, your neighbors areafraid of death, and the children are gradually being affected by theuninterrupted fear around them. Everyone is afraid of death, and peopledon’t even want to talk about death.

世界上只有两种禁忌：性和死亡。很奇怪，为什么性和死亡是两种不可谈论、被避免的禁忌？他们深深地相关连着。性代表生命，因为所有的生命都来自于性，而死亡代表终点。两者都是禁忌----别谈论性，别谈论死亡。

There are only two taboos in the world: sexand death. It is strange, why are sex and death two taboos that cannot betalked about and avoided? They are deeply connected. Sex representslife, because all life comes from sex, and death represents the end. Bothare taboos-don't talk about sex, don't talk about death.
