CONTEMPLATION OF IMPERMANENCE-PRACTICE OF A BODHISATTVA.

T yes remove the concerns of this life by contemplation of impermanence
These close friends had a long term will be separated from,
the wealth and assets with a lot of effort will be left ,

the mind, a customer will leave the hotel body
mind Giving up your life is the practice of a bodhisattva.


Often the secular concerns will only bring suffering and disappointment in this life and after. The emergence of life and death is nothing to be sustainable, always changing and impermanent, as lightning flashed across the night sky brightness. The reflection on the impermanence of all phenomena helps to turn the mind toward the Dharma. As there is a saying:
Everything that is born will die,
Everything is gathered will be scattered,
Any accumulated become exhausted,
Everything will fall in the high-low.
In our confusion, we see all things constant and real existence. But in fact these phenomena are impermanent and do not have any sure it does exist. I want to believe that friendship, wife (husband), wealth, and our forces will exist forever, but in nature, these things have to change. So, it's crazy to worry about them.
In the universe, the impermanence of all phenomena of the coast is clear. For example here, you take a look at how the seasons change on Earth. In summer, green foliage fragrance pervades the place and scenes like paradise. In the fall, plants wither and good yellow flowers turn into fruit and deciduous trees begin. To winter, the land may be snow covered and snow melt away as the warmth of spring appear. The sky may be clouded in the morning and evening then becoming clear; the river can rise or dry spills; solid ground may move and shake the very clear, and a region land can be Truoi go and slip away. Everywhere in the world outside, we could not find a single phenomenon which is solid.
The same is true with humans. We change every moment passed. We change every moment, from the time when young to old, from old to death. The opinions, thoughts and plans that frequently change and transformation. Nothing is definitely a plan began to be completed, which is not sure it will evolve the way it was intended. As Germany Longchen Rabjam said:
I want to live forever with those we love,
But certainly we'll have separated them,
I want forever at a pleasant place,
But certainly we will have to go.
I want to forever enjoy the amenities and pleasures,
But certainly we would have lost that.
Look at the people you already know since you are very young - how many people still alive? Temporary at the moment, you can still live with their parents, friends, wife (husband) you and so on. But you can not escape the fact that at death you will be taken out of them as a hair is removed from the bars of butter - not little any longer stick butter hair.
Can not know when you die, and death situations that will happen is unpredictable. Like a frog in your mouth a snake, you have been in the mouth of Death. Death can beat down any time without notice, and as a result of all these types of reasons and circumstances. Some people die young, some old people died, some died, some died in the war because of an accident or sudden severe fall down the cliff. Some people died while sleeping, some dead, when traveling, eating some dead time. Some people die peacefully, some broken by the attachment to loved ones and their possessions. In any matter, all of us must die. Jigme Lingpa said:
People are tired of the summer sun
Enjoy a collection of cool moonlight, clear
But not terrifying to think that
One hundred days in the life they had come and gone away.
Planktonic life as a grain of dew on the grass first. Nothing can prevent death, just as no one can stop the long shadow that the sun drop into the sunset. You can be extremely beautiful, but you can not charm death. You can full of powerful, but you do not expect the death dominates. Even the most incredible wealth can not buy you a few minutes of life. Death is a certainty for you as well as for people with a knife pierced his chest.
At this time you find it hard to bear so little frustrated being pierced or spikes when the weather is hot. But the misery you will have the opposite will happen at death? Death is not like a flame or as short sips of water soaked into the ground. The mind continues; when you die, the mind to give up your body, and only traces of the industrial good and bad deeds before your cause is to accompany it. When the mind is forced to wander the streets of the bardo , a temporary state between death and a new existence. Bardo is a horrible place to which we do not know, sometimes dark, it's hard to believe, without a moments peace. While you are in the bardo, sometimes you hear noises or see horrible horrible things. As an offender was taken to the execution site, you can be dragged or pushed by the messengers of Yama, Death. They shouted "Kill him!" And "Bring it here!" It's not a comfortable and pleasant place.
Following the terrible suffering of the bardo is the pain of lives, whether it could be any, pain. The pain you suffered as a result of endless negative actions you have questions of the past. When neglected Dharma, you are immersed in the immeasurable evil in life. As Buddha stated in the Vietnamese Kinh Dharma Super Memoirs Clearly , (1) if you have piled all his limbs from countless lives you have lived, even the life that you have been reborn as an ant , that pile of limbs higher than the highest mountain on earth. If you have to collect all the tears you have little down in the past life when your goal is not achieved, they will form an even larger ocean ocean are all together on the earth.
There was a Khampa (Kham people) to meet Drupthop Choyung, one of the foremost disciples of Gampopa, (2) offered him a piece of cloth and ask teachings. Although this has insisted several times, Drupthop Choyung still repudiation prayer. The Khampa begged again and finally the master hand and said three times: "I will die, he will die." And then he added: "It's all what he taught us ; that is all what we practice. Let's just meditate on it. I guarantee that there is nothing greater than that. "
Gyalwa Gotsangpa said:
Meditate on death and impermanence
You will cut off ties with their homeland,
The preoccupied attachment with your loved one,
And the desire of wealth and food.
The thinking on the death turn your mind toward the Dharma , it makes your efforts and ultimately help you realize the brilliant clarity of the Dharmakaya. Think this should always be a major theme in your meditation.
When you think of samsara (reincarnation), if you feel like you're on a ship sinking, as if you fall into a pit full of poisonous snakes, or as if you are a sinner coming assigned to the executioner, then this is definitely a sign that you've thrown away the confidence in the permanent nature of things. That is the authentic understanding of impermanence hovering in your mind. (3) As a result you will not be caught on the distinction between friends and enemies. You will be able to cut off all the dense weave of the rooms for installation of nonsense. Your efforts will be stronger, and everything you do will be on the Dharma. The good qualities you will boom like never before.
The body is the servant of the mind; it can act positively or negatively. You can use this body as an instrument to achieve liberation, or as something that makes you more immersed in samsara. Do not waste your time. Take advantage of your opportunities are present to meet the spiritual teacher and dharma practice. In the past, practitioners have achieved enlightenment by listening to the teachings of impermanence and death, by remembering and reflecting on our thoughts, and by integrating with them through meditation. As there is a saying:
Right now we have to fear death,
And thereby become fearless at death;
If we neglect at this time,
When death comes I will beat his breast in the pain.
Atisha said:
Let's leave everything and go.
Do not do anything,
Do not desire anything.
Do not care too much about the mundane tasks of life. Let's just concentrate on the Dhamma. Let's start a day initiated by the desire to attain enlightenment. In the evening, consider everything you have done during the day, repent of all wrong, and dedicate all good things for the benefit of all beings. Make a vow that tomorrow you will do better.
Brahman Upagupta set aside a black pebble every time you start up a negative thought, and a white stone when he has a good thoughts. At the start, almost his entire collection was a black stone. But gradually, by maintaining mindfulness and awareness, he quickly found himself only to gather white pebbles.

He ordained priests and twenty-six years after his wife and two children died in an epidemic. After studying and practicing Kadampa teachings, thirty-two years old he met Jetsun Milarepa and became a disciple of the eminent teacher. The disciples of the Karmapa Gampopa First Dusum Khyenpa (1110-1170), Phagmo Drupa (1110-1170), and Dharma Wangchuk.
3. The meditation on impermanence has three roots, nine considerations, and leads to three final conclusions.
Three roots to consider:
(1) death is uncertain,
(2) not sure what caused the death, and
(3) outside the Dhamma, all completely useless at death.
Nine to consider:
For the first root,
(1) in the past no one's ever escaped from death,
(2) of the body are interdependent and must be disbanded, and
(3) depletion of life in every moment.
For the root of Monday,
(1) life incredibly fragile,
(2) the body has no long-term nature, and
(3) a multitude of situations that can cause death, while having little or situation lasts for life support.
For the root of Tuesday,
(1) the family and friends would not be beneficial at death,
(2) of wealth and food will be useless, and
(3) your body will become useless.
The three final conclusions:
(1) one should practice Dharma, because it will certainly help us to death;
(2) we must practice Dharma now because we do not know when I die; and
(3) we should just dedicate time to practice Dharma, because outside of that, nothing is useful.
