07.01.1998 - Interpretation of dali48
If you absolutely have to think of something - then think about the uncertainty of your death... (S. Rinpoche)
Our body can suddenly stop functioning, - broken like our car...
If I had to die tonight, what then? - We do not know whether we wake up tomorrow, nor where. - When you exhale and can not breathe again, you're dead! - It is as simple as that...
Tomorrow or the next life - which comes first, we never know... (Tibetan proverb)
The body lies flat on the deathbed, voices whispering last words, a last memory passes by in the mind:
When will this drama happen to you? - It is important to think about it again and again - that death is real and comes without warning...
A dying person had only one message for all - who would survive her, to take life and death seriously! Our task should be to find a balance, - a middle way...
We must learn not to overwhelm ourselves with inessential activities and occupations - but try to simplify our lives more and more. - The key to a happy balance in modern life is simplicity...
The most important thing in life are human relationships and love, - and not material goods...
Everything you do in life remains stored. - Even if you do something unconsciously and it should go unrecognized, - it will come back to life...
What we have done in our lives is shaping us to who we are when we die, - and everything really matters... (S. Rinpoche)
