GIVES MEANING TO LIFE AND DEATH.

 

Dalai Lama

Introduction: This article is excerpted from a book of the Dalai Lama titled "Mind Th retention Ng c Enlightenment in , Nh U ng l er i recommend Tri tu e ng for the Whole Country i today " ( L'Esprit en Eveil, Conseils de Sagesse aux hommes d'aujourd'hui , publishers Presses du Châtelet, 2009. English version: In My Own Words , Publisher Hay House, 2008). Part translation of an entire short chapter (Chapter 9, tr. 131-140) raises thoughts about life and death and the advice of the Dalai Lama helps us to live and go like.

All of us are more or less nagging problem: how to find peace while living as well as death occur? Death is a form of suffering, a kind of experience that we all are trying to avoid, but sooner or later death will come to each of us. Yet they face the unfortunate event that we can choose a treatment to help us cope with the fear. The way we live will be one of the main factors can bring us peace and calm at the moment of death. If you know trying to make his life a sense, then the dying moments it will feel less regret over. Emotions arising in the dying depending on how his own life while healthy.

The practice direction to the infinite period through countless lifetimes will open for us the vision beyond ... Once we accept the existence of his life consists of many different series, the death for we are no different than dressing like that's all. When the decay of old clothes to a new dressing. Thinking that will impact and affect our reaction when confronted with death, it helps us realize death is an inseparable part of life. The gross level of care dependence of the brain, they continue to operate until the brain still maintain the operation. When the brain stops working, then the mind of the crudest level above will be destroyed as well. The brain creates the conditions needed to reveal the mind of the crudest sense. For the mind is the main reason to create it arises from the ongoing continuation of subtle mind, and there is no continuation line beginning. People should remind themselves around the dying try to reveal a positive mind can form and can maintain that form until the crudest level of knowledge all vanish (th tri retention test c Crude To ng oh m the sense c Arab m, t U k only To c Arab s tion sizes nh TED FROM n th retention through th c Whole Country ng) . When you begin to turn to subtle forms of knowledge, when was the dying could only rely on effects arising from the residual from the previous trend (t cholestasis is suspected c e p t they have a o out) . Once this stage it is extremely difficult for those around the dying reminded of the need to be kept as virtuous. So it is very important to practice how to create knowledge in the light of death (also g in i is the light in the su stain tc incubated the ch a ế t) right from the young to become familiar with it, much later to help us cope with the disappearance of the mind. That can be done thanks to the repeated instances of the process as death due to permit visualization (t retention test allowed e n go nh v e di process e n ​​ti ế nc incubated a so- ch ế t) . In short, rather than just fearless zeal, we should think about it. After years of persistent practice we feel certain you have enough capacity to deal effectively with the challenges of death (a thousand loudly when a e a n a mv U ng Duo c too the c brewed a what ch ế s t, we can not even burp harm n U a when the ch ế tx Arab y soles n th TED FROM ts tion sizes , and h Matthew n th ế n U a while we can To h Whole Country ng process a y in s tion sizes tu t TED FROM p to t tion sizes gi Arab and i get no ph Arab rebirth i) .

Of course things can be done only after achieving a certain level practice. In tan-tra have allowed extra practice very high, such as the transformation of knowledge permits (also g in i is chuy To di th n a n th retention c) , however I still believe that the practice allows useful The most effective way of dying is to promote an awareness of consciousness. It is allowed to exercise power over all compared to all other permitted practice. Although the practice of my daily meditation for six to seven times on the process of death and together with the tan-tra allow another train, but I still believe that hospices are able to form mental of awareness is easier to remember to type out for me. This is also permitted to practice spirituality that I care about most. Please also note that meditating on death is also a way to prepare yourself before the real death comes, that preparation will help us reduce fear more. Despite not really getting ready to confront my specific death, but sometimes I wonder and I faced it like when they really happen. Indeed, if my life is also extended certain I will prove to everyone that I will be more work done. But the will to continue my life there must also equal fervor training to cope with death.

Thinking about death is often an integral element deficiencies in the practice of Buddhism. The thinking that brought many different shades. The first is to regularly meditate on death, that's how we do not cling to the life and the charm of it. The method as recited Monday practice to recite the process of death to get familiar with it to help us remember more easily the stages that will be encountered in the mind dying. After the most crude level disappears, the subtle mind will manifest more clearly. It's very important to meditate on the process of death that helped you get to shop subtle form of consciousness in a transparent manner. His death is a proof that the body contains only a limited potential. When it is no longer enough to sustain life again I will die, and then we bring a new body. Personal th To or what I c a nb Arab n , represents a combination of body and consciousness will continue to exist after death (please note e m This is the way t gi Arab ng d e hi To ub a ng a raised "th fish To "or" I "in the territorial v tion sizes c provided Whole Country c, bi To u tr u c ng for a uh burp body-mind-body p-th retention c, b in terms ni i for e mv f "-self but e t puzzle i "is quite difficult for n a mb a t for t a tc Arab m at i ng copyrighted TV i) , and although the body can bring the fish to disappear all the subtle body persists. Look on that aspect, an individual has no beginning nor end, it exists until achieving Buddhahood. whatever it is we are just afraid of death. Except in life will ever do more positive things to ensure a better future for her in later life, which means there will not be reborn in a convenient form of real existence. In this life is just a matter of refugees cut off all contact with her ​​homeland, we can still continue to live longer in our collective humanity, and can still rely on the help also as the interdependence between human beings. But when they die, we will fall into a completely different scenes. The experience gained in the daily collection of modern life will not be anything else to help our hospices. If you're not well prepared then of course everything will not happen smoothly. To exercise the mind is prepared for death. On a certain level of training was how to promote compassion and genuine enthusiasm, make the most positive action towards the help of other beings (area l U y đạ oh a and nh nh u ng e i e ux retention ng e farm) . At a different level, then it is a way to actively exercise their minds (intellectual promoting e ) , and there is a deeper way to prepare for the future. The exercise will help us endure the initiative of his own mind and that is the most important purpose of meditation. Those who absolutely do not believe in anything after death, then death should be considered as a simple components of life. Sooner or later we must confront it, thinking that at least can help us see death as a natural event. Although we attempt to avoid and certainly do not think about it anymore, then we can avoid it any where. To solve that problem, we have two solutions. One is not thinking about death, kick it out of mind - at least, the solution also gives the mind a little bit relieved. But U solution was too adventurous, why the problem remains intact and sooner or later we will encounter with death. The second solution is to look into the problem and reflections so strong in death. I know some soldiers and they told me that before the game, then they feel a lot more courage. I often think about death, our minds also become familiar with it and fear it less than when the death actually occurred to me would be less surprised and more chaotic. In my opinion, the event always thought of death and it is a reminder of the benefits.

We should live a meaningful life. Scriptures that our existence is similar to the clouds in the sky fall. I just look at the actor is performing a play on stage tragedy will clear, the appearance and disappearance of them also no different than the birth and death of humans. The actors change costumes to all the other clothes. Within a short period, so that they form of the deformation do not know how many times. The existence of only one, too. The downfall of a man nor like a thunderbolt burst on the air or rolling down from a rock edge. On the slopes water always poured down, not flow back up. Life quietly walking, but still looks like we just accidentally not know. If we believe that spiritual practice will bring about a benefit that they know where we can also think of the life future awaits him, but usually not so routine, from the heart I just worry about the implementation of the immediate objectives of this present life. Thus any confusion (ignorance) to invade us and take us to tie the existing cycle. Indeed we are wasting our lifetime. At birth we have just started approaching its death. But the best time of life, we only care enough to store everything food, clothes, find friends. When death comes, which is where we can bring these things. We engage in a solitary journey brought us to another world, without a companion beside. Only one thing can bring benefits to us: it is what brings positive from our previous practice, although the practice was done by way of any case it will also save re-marks deep into his mind (t cholestasis is suspected c e pl tion sizes c) . If you do not want a useless waste this life, we should direct it to the practice, which means that reflection on impermanence and the scenes could happen to our death, and consciousness when newly born, then our body has to suffer the impermanence of nature itself, and certainly it would be impossible to avoid disintegration.

The practice is not necessarily only for the purpose of finding some interest in the present life, but rather aimed at the future existence after death. The biggest obstacle preventing the practice is the feeling that he was alive for long. That attitude can imagine the image of a people determined to build his life forever in a place. He rolled into the routine discharge of secular love, such as scavenged wealth, building tall doors wide to reap growing, etc. .. In contrast to a known interest in the life after this happens, they will have the attitude of one who is preparing to go away. A prudent traveler will be prepared to deal with problems that may occur, and they will be given to the destination. The more you think about death as it helps us little more obsessed by things pertaining to this life, whether it is praise or fame, wealth or status. A practice of reflecting on the death of what the purpose of bringing practical for our own existence, of course will promote an energy possible to bring peace and joy for the future existence .

Knowledge of death (t retention tri th c accumulation cx Arab medicine in the process c brewed a ch the ế t e di ang e n ti ế n) can be generated by the two methods of meditation: ie allow regular meditation and meditation in the permit analysis. Anyway, first of all must accept by reason death is inevitable. This is not something obscure theories but rather an event that can apparently be observed. It is estimated that the universe was born five billion years ago, and human beings from one hundred thousand years. So over a period behind that level, there was someone who survived or not? Certain death inevitable, despite the escape to the ocean bottom or fly to the sky is no escape. No matter who we are, we must be certain death. Stalin and Mao may be the two most powerful character in the twentieth century or not, but both died, and apparently both are extremely frightened and miserable when death approaches. During his lifetime they were totalitarian, they crowd around me Xun logistics and surface spreading and willing to follow orders, they just use a finger or a glance is enough to hit him dictate . They use the power of a very cruel way, do not forgive anyone who did not do for their parts. But before death, all the people that put out before they believe and what they all rely constant - power, weapons, military - all of which no further benefit. In that situation who would not fear. Exercise promotion of the consciousness of death [b a test ng e n go nh] real benefit: it [indirect ế p] gives meaning to one's own life, that is the security for their peace and lasting happiness becomes more important than other superficial pleasures. Always remember that death is an impulse to crush the negative energy and emotional disorders you with a mighty hammer blows.

Want to arouse awareness of death in the mind must first be aware of its nature uncertain. There is an adage as follows: "Between tomorrow and a new life, never know what will happen to me before." We all understand that death is certain will happen someday, but we believe that every death is still far, and there are obstacles created everything difficult. We often surround by material worries. Thus should we think about death. Ancient texts say that it is impossible to predict human life in this world will last long, especially in these troubled times it even more difficult. Death does not follow a rule or an order at all. Anyone can die at any time, even though they were old or young, rich or poor, disease or are healthy. It is impossible to master all the death scenes. Many healthy people are not sick at all but suddenly fell to die unexpectedly, while the person was sick in bed, then it is not dead. If comparisons between very large numbers of raw people put to death and very small numbers of reasons to preserve life, then we will immediately understand why the death is very uncertain. We cherish the human body and we believe that it is still sturdy and still be long enough to fight off. But the reality is often coupled with our desire. If you compare his body to stone or steel, you will see immediately that it more fragile. We eat to sustain life and health protection, but in some cases, food is the main cause of our sickness and put to death. In summary, there is no guarantee that we will live forever. We fear death and is considered a final cessation of life. Even worse is what I gathered all my strength a bit - any property, power, prestige, friends or family - they all become useless not bring a real help in the dying moments. Whether it is a man of power, the hands have a powerful military protection, but when death happens, the whole crowd that the military did not do anything. Maybe it is a rich, purchased cars are gorgeous, but you have fallen ill and near death at the time it will have no choice but to find someone capable of saving us from death to spend money that leasing. When to leave this world, we leave the property, a coin will not carry. Friend of his did not go alone. I will be alone to deal with the afterlife. In short only because of what brings new practices can help yourself only. Our body is precious. Right from the moment of conception it is a companion solid and our most reliable. I try my best to care for it, for it to eat it for fear of hunger, fear it for its soft drinks. I try to rest when it tired. I'm ready to do anything to refine it and bring everything to its facilities, to protect it. But on the other side should also be honest: the main body is a man virtually access loyal, always find their way spoiled. For example, the activity of the heart, for example, simple but in fact the whole operation was a great. Hearts do not stop, we can say is to never break no matter what we are doing, awake or asleep. But when death occurs, a great body would abandon us. Knowledge (consciousness) and our bodies separated from each other, and one of our precious bodily before becoming a zombie disgusting. So, faced with death, wealth and possessions, friends and relatives, including his own body, all without my help any more. Only one thing can help us cope with the unknown awaits us, it is the seed sown direct action that we are always on the knowledge of his movements.

In the dying moments are recalled as if aware of the mind will immediately gives us the calm and peace of mind (that can cholestatic c Duo c attention thousand loudly ac incubated the ch a ế t, gi U Duo cs tion sizes can stick Arab n, l found in Duo c our t U bi ...) . Promoting an ethical attitude in the process of death taking place will create good effects bring about a favorable rebirth. So for a Buddhist practice, if you want to live a meaningful life is to know the promotion of virtuous mind can form, because that is what the latter can help us cope with death. The perceived positive or negative at the moment of our death depends on the behavior in their daily lives before. His life must contain a certain sense, we have created for themselves a positive attitude coming from people who love the warmth and joy in us. Some l er il a m c table incubated ng a copyrighted TV id I, ch Fear of death is one of the natural instincts and powerful cover all sensual beings, including insects and animals. For animals of the low level of evolution, the instinctive fear of death only revealed by the simple self-defense response, direct and temporary. With the evolution of organisms as well as the instincts become more complex, and particularly for the case of humans contains a lot of special abilities, the instinctive fear of death as a result it reveals diverse sometimes very deep and sophisticated. I find all the facilities of the material realm specific to the areas of real spirit of abstract and complex to fight death. It was not a religious man put to find a way out or what? Religion helps them to live forever even as a way also, though it is the soul, spirit guide, spirit, soul, etc. .. But if you want to live there also must be a place to live forever, so heavenly realms of bliss or human invention was added. Types of books referred to heaven or bliss are realms where he describes extremely happy, with lots of fragrant grass strange, everything around it were gold or jade ... But we also understand that plants need soil, water, sunlight and the atmosphere of oxygen and carbon dioxide to grow and flourish. So the place will help us live well just like the planets or stars, that is meeting the necessary conditions for plants can flourish? Or flowers in the realms of joy that is extremely artificial flowers used to decorate the beautiful? Furthermore flower is the sexual organs of plants adapted for bee pollination to produce butterfly effect, and the result is to chisel carved insects, birds and humans for food, in short, are the flower things to decorate the heavenly realms or what bliss it. Golden is true that very rare on Earth, but if the plane was given too much then they will no longer have any value anymore. Maybe the soul, the spirit or soul flavor present in endless places no time to dream of going barefoot on the sand flat and watch the moss rock? In short we often referred to to the value of conventional and artificial self-deceive himself, thought that the most lasting vision to cope with death waiting ahead. The value of his ideas and his reporters are expressions of ignorance and lead us ever further with reality, and they also give rise to the secret impulses manifested through the promotion of energy required cut us into an endless cycle of existence. However for the Buddhist forms also ask to be alive in a certain realm, but it is just what Buddhism referred to as the ph copyrighted TV ti ng e n exam e nx Arab o ( upaya ) , we have the ability to adapt to some people to help them towards an end beyond.
