【Mindfulness of Death 念死无常】You will thereby bring lasting significance to things, like the body, that would not have had such significance 于无坚身等诸事取胜坚实

【Mindfulness of Death】- You will thereby bring lasting significance to things, like the body, that would not have had such significance.

【With constant and respectful effort you will accumulate good karma by doing such virtuous deeds as going for refuge and maintaining ethical discipline. You will thereby bring lasting significance to things, like the body, that would not have had such significance.】

Because you have practiced, and when practicing, look! “constant and respectful effort”. In terms of time, do not allow it to break, in terms of time do not let it break, this is called “constant”: During practice, be very serious, put in great effort. With such perseverance, this is then true joyous perseverance. So what are we practicing? “accumulate good karma by doing such virtuous deeds as going for refuge and maintaining ethical discipline”. This is truly virtuous, this is not deceptive and not bad. Therefore under such a situation, although our body is empty, unreal and is lack of any significance, we have made use of this body that have no significance to practice and achieve various lasting, excellent and genuine karmic fruits.

念死无常 : 于无坚身等诸事取胜坚实

【由其恒常殷重精进，修集皈依及净戒等诸微妙业，遂于无坚身等诸事取胜坚实。】

那么因为你修习了，这个修习的时候，看喔！“恒常、殷重、精进”—时间上面哪，不要让它断，时间上面不要让它断，这个叫恒常；修的时候呢，很认真、很努力，这样的精进，这样才是真正精进。那么这个修什么？“修集皈依净戒诸微妙业”，这个真正微妙的，这个不是欺诳的、不是坏的。于是在这种状态之下，虽然我们这个身是空的、是假的、不坚实的，却是利用这个不坚实的身体啊，能够修习而得到各式各样坚固、殊胜的实在的果报。
