How should we face the death?

Dear Nishijima Roshi,

I just want to ask for your advice about, how should we face the death with Zen's viewpoint?
and what should we do, when death is coming to our life?

Thank you for your advice.

Dear Isahito San

Thank you for your questions, and my answers are as follows.

(Isahito San) I just want to ask for your advice about, how should we face the death with Zen's viewpoint?

(Gudo) I guess that when the death has approached, our eyes might become dark, and the whole Universe might become dirk, and so it is necessary for us to wait the darkness.

(Isahito San) and what should we do, when death is coming to our life?

(Gudo) I think that I should wait for death quietly, and I think that there is nothing to do preparing for death.
