【Mindfulness of Death 念死无常】the next life will be dependent on the karmic actions you have created in this life 下一生就看这一生造什么业
【Mindfulness of Death】- the next life will be dependent on the karmic actions you have created in this life
【The Letter to Kaniska says:
When the past karma that caused
This life is spent,
And you are connected with the new karma
And led by the Lord of Death,
Everyone turns back.
Except for your virtue and sin,
Nothing will follow you.
Know thus and act well.】
What did he say? The past karma, that is the past karma that we are experiencing in this life. Once this past karma that caused this life is spent, sorry, once this past karma that caused this life is spent, we will die. To use current layman terms, this is our own individual destiny. What is destiny? It is the past karmic actions you have created in your previous lives and the effects of which are manifested in this life. When the effect of the past karma that caused this life is spent, well, your life comes to an end. At that time, what will come next? What will come next will be dependent on the karmic actions you have created in this life.

念死无常 : 下一生就看这一生造什么业
【《迦尼迦书》云:“能生诸异熟,先业弃汝已,与新业相系,死主引去时,当知除善恶,余众生皆返,无一随汝去,故应修妙法。”】
他怎么说呀?说这个能生异熟的,就是我们以前感我们这一生异熟的这个业,这个业一旦尽了,对不起,这个业一尽,我们就死了。拿我们现在的话来说,就是我们每个人的命运。什么叫命运哪?那就是你宿生造的往业,这一生,就感得这样的一个果报。当感得这一生的果报一尽的时候,好了!生命就到此为止。那个时候,再向前是什么呢?再向前,就看你这一生造什么样的业。
