One of the most common symbolic use of the skull is a representation of death and mortality. Skull should remind us that all things are created, stay for while and passes away. The simple understanding of mortality and impermanence allows us to look at life from different perspective - when we know that life will end we naturally cherish it more, live fully and mindfully and can see that we are not different from others. What is the secret of life? - know death.
