Death is an inevitable fate of human beings; yet, everyone has death anxiety. Yogacara explains that life is a projection Alaya-vijnana; hence, death is an illusion; therefore, there is no death but an endless progression of life. However, Yogacara, being an ancient Indian philosophy, is not easily explained today. In this essay, I attempt to explain Yogacara using computing analogies. This is likely to be more palatable by members in the current society and does not have to grapple with the intricacies of Yogacara, especially in difficult times such as facing death. Moreover, this also suggests that computer is essentially a tool that we can explore spirituality.
