【Mindfulness of Death 念死无常】 all the wonders of this world will leave me behind 现法一切圆满，皆弃舍我
【Mindfulness of Death】- all the wonders of this world will leave me behind
【Consequently, think, “It will certainly come to pass that all the wonders of this world will leave me behind; I will leave them behind as well, and go to some other world.】
Regarding this point, we must always think frequently, think frequently! No matter how perfect you are, no matter how perfect you are, this thing, in the end, you cannot bring it along with you. Since you cannot bring it together with you, and neither will it follow you, this fact lies before us. But we are still stubbornly so flawed in thinking. Sigh, when talked about, it is just so pathetic, when talked about it, it is just so pathetic! Is this not a very clear and obvious truth?
【In fact, this will happen today! Contemplate how, at the time of death, only religious practice will serve as a refuge, a protection, a defense.】
Similarly, when we look at these (three points) from the beginning or from the back, the third point explained it very clearly. So an overall view on the contemplation of death we can take is that: yes! There is nothing that can be brought along when one dies, and when is the time of death? It may happen today! We have understood it previously that, at the time of true contemplation, must contemplate that: Today (I) will certainly die! At that time, there is only one thing I can rely on - Dharma, this is the most absolute, this is the most absolute. Then from here, you will naturally give rise to the third affirmation, what to be affirmed - not to let any of the false things before your eyes to be an obstacle!

念死无常 : 现法一切圆满，皆弃舍我
【是故现法一切圆满，皆弃舍我，我亦决定弃舍彼等而赴他世。】
这一点，平常好好地多想啊，好好多想！不管你多圆满哪，不管你多圆满，这个东西，到最后它一点都带不去。你既带不去，它也不会跟你去，这个事实摆在这里，可是我们就偏偏会这么个颠倒。唉呀，说起来真可怜哪，说起来真可怜！这不是一个很明白的事实吗？
【复应思惟，今日或死。又应思惟，尔时唯法是依是怙，是示究竟所有道理。】
那么同样地，我们就前后都在看，这个第三点说得很明白。那我们整个地把念死的道理想：是的！死的时候是一样东西带不去，而且呢什么时候死啊？今天很可能死！我们前面已经了解了，真正思惟的时候，一定要思惟说：今天一定死！那个时候，只有一样东西可以依凭的—法，这个才是究竟的，这个才是究竟的。所以从这么一来的话，你自然而然又能够生起第三种决断，决断什么呢—不为眼前所有一切的虚假的东西所阻碍！
