One approach might be to increase empathy and our sense of connectedness so that compassion for others becomes compassion for ourselves and our death as an individual is insignificant.

There are bible verses like "love your neighbor as you love yourself", "judge not lest you be judged". Those seem to be encouraging Christians to be one with everybody else.

I think Buddhism makes no claims about a personal afterlife. It is one of the unanswered questions:
