【Mindfulness of Death】- It is not my turn yet

Let us take a look at those who are unwell. He will feel that， “Ah-ya, hurry up and get me a good doctor, ah-ya, and get well quickly! Still cannot let go of this and cannot let go of that.” We look at others and also understand, but then say, “Correct! It is not my turn yet.” Hey! In fact, how can it never be my turn?

During the times when we fall sick, if we truly have the concept of impermanence in mind, the moment we are unwell, we will make every effort to recite Amitabha Buddha (mantra). Ah ya, is there a need to find a doctor to interfere with me? No, no. What medication is this? When we are really sick, we will never make effort to recite Buddha’s name. We will definitely say, “I need to take a rest! I want a fast recovery. Quick, go find a doctor.” Isn’t this very understandably clear! Therefore, if we do not think about it, we will never know. The moment you think of it, the reality will set in, reality will set in. So, although we say, “Ai-ya, eventually we will die!” This does not serve any purpose, just empty words. Examine your mind and it will be very clear. What is going through in our mind? We are always thinking that we will not die and make plans for thousand and ten thousands of years.

念死无常 : 还没轮到我...

我们去看看人家病人，他总觉得：“唉呀，你赶快替我找个好的医生，唉呀，赶快好啊！还有这个事情放不下，那个事情放不下。”我们看看别人也晓得，然后说：“对呀！没轮到我自己。”嘿！其实哪有轮不到我自己的？ 当我们甚至生了一点病以后，假定你真正的有这个无常的概念生起来以后，你一生病，马上拼命念阿弥陀佛，唉呀，这个念……医生要找他干什么，来打我闲岔，不要、不要！唉呀，这个药什么东西啊！我们真的生了病，绝对不会说拼命念佛，一定说：“唉呀，我要休息一下！唉呀，赶快等我好了就好了！唉呀，赶快找个医生来。”这不是很明白清楚的事情嘛！所以我们不想，的确不知道，你一想的话，现况就现起来了，现况就现起来了。所以虽然我们嘴巴上面讲：“唉呀，最后都要死啊！”这个没有用哦，这空话。喏，检查一下心里面就很清楚，那我们心理状态是什么？老是想着不死那一面，还总做千年万年计。
