Can you explain the philosophy behind why the physical passing of a body should not be feared, using the provided text?

πŸ“– Chapter 37

The text offers a profound perspective to alleviate the fear of death by explaining the nature of dissolution. Chapter 37 uses an analogy: if a pot is broken with a stone, only its form is destroyed. The underlying 'pot-existence' remains continuous even in the broken pieces. Similarly, the passing of someone's body does not result in a final end or nothingness. The text emphasizes that the dissolution of any effect occurs by taking refuge in its existence, and the effect is not separate from its cause. This means existence continues, and the destruction of form is not the end of being.
