【Mindfulness of Death】- Our body and resources will undoubtedly separate from us soon

【The Four Hundred Stanzas:
Those who think with certainty, “I will die,” Give up fear.
Therefore, How could they fear even the Lord of Death?】

We should understand, in the end, we cannot escape from death. If you have a firm understanding of this concept and practice in accordance with the Dharma, you will be able to eradicate your non-virtuous karma and cultivate all virtuous causes. Then there is nothing to be fearful! Why are you fearful of death then? This is the true principle of “mindfulness of death”.

【Thus, when you contemplate impermanence again and again, you think, “I will undoubtedly separate from my body and resources soon,” and you stop the craving that hopes not to leave them.】

Therefore, you should consistently put the concept of mindfulness of death in your mind. What is the benefit of this then? Regardless of how good a benefit is before you now, upon death, is this of any use to you? Is this of any use?

经常把无常这个概念摆在脑筋里面，那么你一摆在脑筋里，有什么好处呢？你说不管你眼前有多大的好处，请问两脚一伸对你有用吗？对你有用吗？
