In Korea, a multi-religious country, families and relatives often have different religions. Since each religion has a different view of the world after death, it is not easy to meet the Buddhist ritual of death even if you are a Buddhist. Moreover, the death ceremony presented by the Jogye Order is a ritual organized by a monk after death, so there is less work that can be done for a upasaka/upasika, so he takes care of patients and suffers a lot of conflicts. When the patient is about to die, his mind becomes weak and his judgment becomes blurred, and even a monk may convert before his death. According to the Buddhist philosophy of reincarnation, one’s pre-death mindset determines the next life, so one’s pre-death is the most important period of his life. Therefore, this paper intends to suggest an alternative to what kind of dying behavior can be done to patients who are about to die, giving them peace of mind and body, and ending their lives with peace of mind, through teaching in the scriptures and various Buddhist literature.
