【Mindfulness of Death】- Our body and resources and so forth will be gone very quickly

Even though you have managed to really cure it, even though your sickly body is cured, when it is time to die, is there any use? If the body really depends on nutrition only, then the law of karma is of no use at all, this is the truth! Therefore, for Dharma practitioners, if one does not grasp the core concepts of the Dharma and instead busy oneself with such matter [e.g. nutrition], this is totally absurd. When we first start, I will not require everyone to change immediately. If I do that, it would be wrong. However, you must recognize that your concept is wrong. On the basis of this misconception, repent on it diligently, this is what is important. If one is obstinately attached to this misconception, then the most fundamental basis of practicing the Dharma is wrong. Therefore, be mindful that the “body and resources” and so forth will be gone very quickly. By that time, you will “stop the craving” that hopes not to leave them. Thus, the words “cannot let go” have totally no lingering effect on you.

念死无常 : 身受用等，很快就离开

就算你身体不好弄好了以后，到临终两脚一伸，有用吗？假定说这个东西真的靠营养，完全靠营养的话，那这个业感这个道理就一点用场都没有了，这是千真万确的事实啊！所以说修学佛法的人，不把佛法把住中心思想，而忙这些事情的话，完全颠倒了！我们刚开始的时候，我不要求大家一下改过来，如果要求大家，那是错误。但是你必须要认识概念的错误，然后照这个概念的错误，努力去忏悔，这才是真正重要的！完了以后，牢牢执着这个概念的话，那这个修学佛法就压根儿就弄错了。所以说“念身受用”等一切很快离开了，那么那个时候你会“遮遣”，你就不会再对这个东西爱着难舍。不会对它爱着难舍，所以放不下两个字，对你就完全没有一点点黏着力量。
