THE DALAI LAMA IS ABOUT DEATH.

   

The Buddha has said that in all the different seasons, fall is the best season, in all types of fuel to burn, cow dung is the best, and in all the categories of the different sensations, the province about the impermanence and death are the most effective.

Death is certain things, but when it struck down the uncertainty. If we are really dealing with the incident, we don't know what's coming tomorrow – or death. We cannot absolutely that old people will die and the young are left behind.

The most realistic attitude that one can nurture hope is best but prepare for the worst. If the worst does not happen, then everything is fine, but if it happens, it won't surprise us attack.

This also applied to the French practice: preparing for the worst because none of us know when he died. Every day we hear about the death of newspapers or the death of a friend, someone I know carry trough, or of a loved one. Sometimes we feel the loss, sometimes we almost happy, but in some ways, we still hold to the idea that such things will not happen to us.

We think you are exempt for the impermanence, and so we delayed the spiritual austerities (which can prepare us before death), and for that I will have time in the future. When the inevitable happened, the only thing we have to take away is my regret. We need to go into the practice immediately so that although death had earlier testimony, we also will be ready.

When death comes, nothing can stop it. Whether you have any body type, although you can inert inert for v i illness way, death is certain Merry Christmas down. If we reflect on the life of Buddha and Chu Bo-slapped in the past then you got is a memory. The great Indian masters like Mr. Nagarjuna (Nagarjuna) and Asanga (Infinity) has made a tremendous contribution to France and worked for the good of sentient beings, but now all that remains of him is just the names.

Your profile so vivid they were still alive. When we go to India pilgrimage, I find places like the great Nalanda monastery, is where the great masters such as Nagarjuna and Asanga were studying and teaching. Today the Nalanda was crumbling. When looking at the left of the great figures in history, landscape destruction only illustrates the nature of impermanence.

As the Buddha's ancient language spoken, though we get down or goes into the sea or into space, we will never be avoided death. The people in our own family sooner or later will separate from each other as the wind leaves blow. In the next two months, some of us will die, and others will die in a few years.

In eighty or ninety years, all of us, including the Dalai Lama dies. At this time, only the my spiritual being is help for me. No one after the birth that increasingly away from death. Instead, every day we are closer to death than, like cattle being led to etc. Like the bulls beat up their cattle and lead them back to the barn, we're also cursed by the unspeakable suffering of birth, aging, illness, death, always closer to the end of life. All things in the universe were subject probably impermanent and will eventually be dissolved.

As his Holiness the Dalai Lama on Saturday said, the teens look so strong and energetic but died young as the teachers actually teach us about impermanence. Out of all the people we know or see, no one will live in a hundred years from now. The death could not be repulsed by your uncle or by seeking refuge in any skilled masters. Over the years of my life, I have met a lot of people. Now they are the shadows in my memories.

Today I met more new people. It's like watching a play: after the close finish as his theatrical performance, people change Siem y and rose again. If we're spending his short life under the influence of the resentment and hate, if for the sake of those short-lived lives that which we increase the crush right then plagued us a lasting artifact, because it destroys the prospects of accomplishing our ultimate happiness. If sometimes we don't succeed in secular matters trivial, that's not very important, but if we're wasting valuable chances thanks to this life, we are going to be downs Luan in the long run.

The future in our hands – though we are to undergo extreme suffering due to fall into the realms of samsara Africa-human, or we want to progress to higher forms of the rebirth, or we want to reach a State of enlightenment. Mr. Shantideva says that in this life we have the opportunity, the responsibility, have the ability to choose and decide what future life will be like.

We should his consciousness austerities so that my life will not be wasted – don't waste even one month or one day – when death comes. If we can foster the understanding that impetus for spiritual practice will arise-which is the most powerful motivator. Geshe Sharawa (1070-1141) says that his best masters is the meditation about probably impermanent.

The Buddha Sakyamuni taught his first instruction in that cornerstone of the suffering is impermanent. When faced with death, the foremost practitioners will rejoice, the average practitioners will be well prepared, and even the most radical lowering of practitioners will have nothing to regret. When we go to the last day of his life, it is not even a day of regret, or negative things that we experience when hospices can affect the next reincarnation.

The best way to make meaningful life is to live by the way of pleasing bi introspection. If you think the idea of death and impermanence, you will start to make your life meaningful. You can tell that because sooner or later you must die, then no need to try to think of the death at the moment, because it will only make you fall and worry. But the sense of death and probably impermanent can have useful. If our minds are entangled by the feeling that his being on the death, then we would never seriously in his practice and never progress on the spiritual path.

The belief that you will not die is the largest barrier for your spiritual progress: you won't remember to France, you won't be subject to France although you can remember it, and you will not follow France wholeheartedly whatever you can abide by it at a certain level. If you're not meditating on death then you will never be rigorously practice. Good breeze to the lazy, you will lack of trying and impulse in the practice, and you will suffer the exhaustion so fuck you. You will be tied into the fame, wealth and success. When you think too much of this life, we tend to work for what you love-bereaved relatives and friends of ours-and we're working hard to please them. Then when anyone doing harm to them, immediately we listed those who are her enemies.

In this way, the passionate mistakes like the desire and resentment towards hate promoting as a river flooded in the summer. Naturally, the error which we indulged in everything negative actions that consequences would be the rebirth of the lower forms of the birth and death in the future. Thanks for the exercise area in Germany, we would have been a precious human life. Any merit would exist would also manifest as several relative achievement levels in this life.

As v y little which makes them unable to be objective we have gone, and if we don't earn any merit then new episodes like we spent money to spend without new money deposited into. If we exhaust the accumulation of merit, the sooner we will be immersed into a lifetime after also suffering even more formidable.

It is said that without a proper sense of death then we will die in the suppressing of fear and regret. Emotional affair that could take us away into the realms. Many people avoided the death. They run away thinking the worst, so when it actually happened to them were absolutely not ready. The Buddhist practice suggest that we should not know not to unhappiness and to understand and face them, prepare them right from the start. As a result, when we actually experience suffering, then it is not something absolutely unendurable.

Just avoid a problem will not help to resolve it that actually make the problem worse. Some people commented that the practice of Buddhism seems to emphasize the misery and pessimism. I think this is a mistake. Practice of Buddhism is really trying to get a permanent peace-floating measurement failure is impossible for a normal mind-and eradicated those miserable once for ever. The Buddhists aren't happy with just achievement in this life or the prospects of success in the hereafter, but instead, they are looking for an ultimate happiness. Because the suffering is a reality so that the basic viewpoint of Buddhism that will not solve the problem if we sidestep it through the tangerines. Do's is faced with suffering, look at it and analyze it, survey, identifying its causes and figure out the best way to deal with it.

Those who evade this misfortune actually being attacked, they are not prepared and will suffer more than the people themselves have to get used to the suffering, their origin and how they trigger.

An imitation of French thought every day about the death, a slide show about the suffering of the people, the suffering of birth, suffering of the age, of sickness, suffering and the suffering of the dying. Every day, the excess Security practitioners to experience the death of the visualizations. It's like experiencing the death of the mind, once a day. Because of familiar with it, they are perfectly willing to actually meet death. If you are passing through a very dangerous region and frightful, you should learn about the dangers and how to behave with them earlier. Not available on them is foolish. Despite liking or not you must also go to it, so you better get ready to know how to act when problems emerge. If you have a perfect recipe for death then you will feel that you are going to die one day recently.

So if you discover that you are about to die today or tomorrow, thanks to his spiritual practices, you will attempt to manually remove yourself from the objects bound by hard things and treat every secular success as there aren't any nature or sense.

Taking advantage of the awakening of the death is that it makes my life meaningful and thanks to feel joy when hours of death to come near, you will die without any regrets. When you a slide show about the certainty of death and the uncertainty of the hour of death, you will make every effort to prepare for the future. You will realise that the success and the activities of this nature have no inception and not important. As such, the work for taking advantage of strayed long of yourself and others will seem to matter more, and your life will be guided by that perception. As Germany Milarepa said, late sooner because you have to leave everything behind, then why not abandon it now?

Despite all our efforts, including the use of medications or celebrating the feast of longevity, no one could have expected to live beyond a hundred years. There are a few exceptions, but after sixty or seventy years from now, most people who read this book will not live. After a hundred years, people will think of our time just as a part of history. When death comes, the only thing that may help is wholeheartedly bi introspection and the being of a family identity of reality where one has been reached. Of this area, surveying the view there is a life after death or not is of paramount importance.

The life of the past and the future exist due to the following reason.

The type of thinking that from last year, from the year before, and even from childhood can be recalled at this time. This only shows a clearly known to have existed prior to the current known. The first conscious moments in life are not born to run without a cause, nor is spawned from something often constant or senseless. A moment of consciousness is something pure and profound knowledge. By what has preceded it must be something in the am and spectacle, the first moments of the mind (money). Just believe that your first moments in this life comes from none other than a lifetime ago.

Although the physical body can act as a secondary cause of the subtle change in mind, but it can't be the main causes. The material was never converted into consciousness, and consciousness can not be converted into matter. Thus, the consciousness must come from the conscious mind. The consciousness of this present life comes from the consciousness of life and is the cause of the consciousness in the hereafter. When you a slide show about death and often the knowledge of it, life will become meaningful. Recognize the disadvantages of binding accept is our instinct to the usually constant, we have to fight back and awakening to his secret hypnosis will be promoting further keep strict practice. Mr. Tsong-kha-pa said that the importance of the awareness of death is not only confined to the stage start.

It is important during all stages of the path; It is important at the beginning, in the middle of the stage and also in the last stage. The awakening of the death that we must nurture is not the usual fear, helplessness about the separation with the loved ones and your property. More appropriately, we must learn to fear that I was going to die that has not ceased to be the cause of rebirth in the lower realms of samsara and will die without achievement the causes and conditions necessary for the regeneration in the future. If we have not accomplished two purposes, at the time of death, we'll been overcome by fear and regret the formidable.

If we are spending all of his lifetime to indulge in evil actions arose from the desire to hate and resentment, then we cause a disaster not only for the weather but also longer lasting. That's because we accumulate and storing huge amounts of these causes and conditions (Coast Guard) for the fallen of ourselves in the future. Fears about that will provoke us to turn every day of her life into something meaningful. When there was the awakening of the death, we will see success and all things of this life are not important, and will work for a better future. That is the purpose of the meditation on death. Now, if we fear death, we will attempt to find a way to win your fears and regrets her death.

And right now, if we take away the fear of death when dying, we're tied by his regrets. Mr. Tsong-kha-pa said that when the meditation of probably impermanence become very firmly and solidly, then all we meet will teach us about impermanence. He said that the process to go from killing starts right from conception, and in life, the life we often cursed by illness and the elderly. While still healthy and full of life, we should not be fooled to think that the chips themselves will not die.

We should not forget the fun when we were doing; It is best to prepare for our future fate. For example, people who are steeper falls from a high standing stones will not pleasure before they touch the ground. Even when we were living, there was little time for the practice. Despite US claims of longevity is, perhaps a hundred years, but we never gave in to the thought that I will have time to practice. We should not be dominated by the times set on fire, it is a form of lazy properties.

Half life knocked loose in the bed, and most of the rest of us who burnt by the worldly activities. As we grow older, physical strength and mental decline, and although we can look forward to practice, but it was too late because we will not have the capacity to practice. As a Business say, half a human lifetime spending during sleep, lose ten years when I was young and I twenty years old, and the time between being tormented by anxiety, sadness, suffering and frustrations, so that hardly any time to practice for the Ph.

If we live a life of sixty years and think about all the time I spent as a kid, all the time used to sleep, and the time when we're too old, we should realize that only about five years so that we can donate to the practice strictly be Dharma.

If we do not take a careful effort to practice Dhamma, which live as we live life, then surely he is spending his life in the loafers are not the purpose. Gung-thang Rinpoche says, there was: "it took me twenty years to not think about the practice of France, and then take another twenty years to think about going to practice and then lost ten years thinking about missed chances to practice Dharma." When I was a child, there is nothing worth saying. About fourteen or fifteen years old, I started to care about a decent way to France. Then I lost a lot of time in the variable time.

The best thing I can recall is the contest I took by Geshe (the highest academic degree in Tibetan monastic University), then I have to leave home. Now, even though there was a little bit of study and practice, the majority of my life has been wasted a lazy way of not taking advantage of strayed a bit. However I'm not so much to regret that he did not practice.

If I'm thinking in terms of the ultimate Yogic Tantra practice, there are certain aspects of the way I couldn't practice because of the structure of my body began to degrade with age. Time to practice Dharma does not come naturally but must be arranged with intent. If you are departing on a long journey, in time, need to do the preparation. As I often like to say, we should use the fifty percent of the time and the capacity for the concerns about his future, and about fifty percent for the Affairs of this life.

There are many causes that led to the death and very little cause to live longer. Moreover, what we often considered to strengthen livelihoods, such as food and medicines, could become the cause of death. Today, many diseases are attributed by our diet. These chemicals often help increase crop and animal husbandry has contributed to health and cause the loss of balance in the body. A body is too sensitive, too subtly making if it too fat, then you have everything issue: you can't go right on short, high blood pressure, and may become a burden.

Conversely, if you are too skinny, thin, you're less healthy or stamina, it led to other troubles. When you're young, you're worried not to mention among the adults, and when too old then you will feel like being displaced out of society. This is the essence of our existence. If termites do harm graphic effects from outside, then you may in this way or another to evade it; You can drop the Earth or deep diving in the ocean. But when the threat comes from within, then you can't do anything. While we were free for the sick and needy, and have a healthy body, we must take advantage of that and withdraw its framework. Draws are framework (the essence) of life is working hard to entirely State achievement freed from sickness, death, the decline and fear-that is, a State of liberation and omniscient.

Wealthiest people in the world can't bring a unique possessions when he died. Mr. Tsong-kha-pa says that if we have to leave behind this body, is something that we are very close, considered in itself and is what has been with me since he was born as old friends, then do something to give back the material. Most people are losing too much energy and time just to try to get a little bit of success and happiness in this life. But at the death, my secular activities, such as the care of relatives and friends, and the competition with rivals, vows to leave unfinished.

Although you can have enough food to get in a hundred years, dying you will suffer hunger, and although you can have enough clothing to wear in a hundred years, but when you die you will be naked. When death strikes, there is no difference between how the death of a King, left behind his Kingdom, and death of a beggar, leaving rod. You should try to imagine a situation in which you were sick. Imagine that you are seriously ill and the entire physical health has gone; you feel exhausted, and even medication did not help. To the deathbed doctor will speak in two ways. With the patient, he said: "don't worry, you get better. There's nothing to fear; just need to rest. " With his family, he said: "the situation is very serious. You should arrange to celebrate the last rites. "

At that time you will have no chance to complete unfinished work or to complete your research. When located, the body will make you too weak to move. And then the heat of the body slowly dispersed and you feel yourself becoming simple hard, like a tree fell on the bed. You'll really start to see's themselves.

Your last words to hear thều thào and those around the new effort to understand what you say. The last food you ate not a tasty meal that is a handful of drugs that you will no longer have to swallow. You will have to leave these most intimate friends, seem to take many lifetimes you see them. How your breathing changes and becomes more noise. Slowly it becomes abnormal, the breath in breath out quicker, faster. Finally, there will be a very strong breath away after all, and this will be the cessation of respiration. That marked a died as has often been interpreted as such. After that, your name, the name that has a deliver fun for friends and family when they listen to it, will be added to a word "problem" in front of it.

Mainstay is on at hospices, centres should be in a good state. It is the last chance that we have, and is a chance should not be missed. Although we can live a life so bad, but by the time hospices should make a great effort to cultivate a State of virtue (peace) in mind. If we can develop a strong best introspection bi and full capacity at the time of death, then there is hope that in the future we will regenerate in a convenient life. In General, the familiar plays an important role in this. When a patient is dying, the Hospice to feel sexual desire or resentment is unfortunate thing.

At least, so ill see the images of the Buddha and the Bo-slaps caused them to be able to recognize him, attempting to develop strong faith where the Lord, and died in a good mood. If this can't be done, then it is important that caregivers and bereaved relatives don't do dying embarrassment. At the time, a very intense emotions as the desire or resentment can take Speck to a formidable pain status and are fully capable of going into a rebirth in the lower realms. When approaching death, indications that the future can only omen appeared.

Those with good conscious mind will find themselves going from dark to light or place to go into the clearing. They will feel happy, seeing beautiful things, and will not feel any pain any profound agony when they die. If the deathbed people feel very passionately about the desire to blame him or hate then they will see things and will feel grief formidable.

Some people feel as though they are going into the dark, others feel you are burning. I met a few people who are very ill, they recounted that when severe pain, they found themselves being burned. This is a show for their future fate. Do the signs like, Speck will feel downright confusing, and would shout, croon, seeing as though the body being dragged down.

They will grieve deeply at hospices. In a way, it. these events derived from the clinging to ego. Speck said that guys that people love it is dying. When those who were plying most of his life in evil dead's happy, she's melting process of body warmth despite starting from the upper body to go down to the heart. For those practitioners happy then the heat started to vanish from the bottom, from the feet, and finally up to the heart. In any case, the conscious mind is also really depart from the heart.

Mr. Shantideva says that even the animals also works to experience pleasure like and avoid suffering in this life. We must direct our attention to the future; If not, we're not animals. The awakening of the death is the Foundation of the whole path. Unless you develop the province this way, otherwise, all the other practices will be hindrances. France was the Boy Scouts to lead us through these counties is not known; France's food nourishes us in our journey; France's captain will take us to the nirvana. Therefore, please provide all the capacity of the body, language and mind you in the practice of law. Talking about the meditation on death and impermanence probably easy, but actual practice is very difficult. And when we practice, sometimes we don't notice much change, especially if we compare yesterday and today.

That's a danger much do we lose hope and become lacking in courage. In situations like that, which is very useful when we compare every day or every week, but rather, try to compare my current mood with mood of five years or ten years ago; so we're going to find that there have been a few changes.

We can realize some shifts in perspective, in knowledge, in mind, in our response to these practices. Itself is a source of great encouragement, support; It really gives me hope, because it just shows if we attempt will have the ability to further progress. Becomes fall and decided to postpone our practice to a more convenient time is really very dangerous.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.9/9/2013.NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
