Monks in anime: Corpse Princess

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-3SNGp7pCk - 2:10 - 5:40

      What I like to focus on with anime is the story and the story of the anime Corpse Princess, as well as 

the moral questions it raises, is explained in part of the video that I use for this reflection.  Monks in this 

anime help those who have died deal with death, which is something that monks should be able to do 

since dealing with death is something that monks have to do for themselves.  Dealing with death may be 

different for Buddhist monks, Benedictine monks, and other kinds of monks, but dealing with death is 

something that we all have to do, as well as the various moral problems we may face due to what we do 

and how we do it.
