In this section, Rinpoche
emphasizes the importance of the mind that cherishes
others over the self—bodhicitta—the
impermanent nature of life, and the unexpectedness
of death.
It is very good to
think every morning, “I
will die today,” which helps us to accept death
and the impermanence of life. We are all on the same
journey
toward death and it is vital to realize this.
However,
Rinpoche shows that even more important than this
is achieving liberation from samsara, and
most important of all, achieving enlightenment for
the benefit
of
all sentient
beings.
Major
transitions in life are a reminder to us of how precious
our human lives
are,
and how important it is for us to practice the Dharma. |
