【Mindfulness of Death 念死无常】Mindfulness of death is the source of all that is excellent 念死是一切圆满之门

【Mindfulness of Death】- Mindfulness of death is the source of all that is excellent

【and the remedy for this is mindfulness of death, the source of all that is excellent.】

With regards to this thought of “I will not die yet”, there must be a correct remedy. What is there to remedy? To be mindful of death, when you think about death, nothing matters anymore. This is what is truly helpful to us. All the goodness ofthings arises from this concept. Following,

【Consequently, you should not think that this is apractice for those who do not have some otherprofound teaching to cultivate in meditation.】

Therefore, we should never say, there is no profound Dharma for meditation now. We should meditate this. On the contrary, regardless of whichever profound Dharma to meditate on, without this foundation, no matter how profound the Dharma you are meditating on, all these are without the foundation. Not only that, take a look at all the other complete teachings, they will always have this as a foundation. Therefore, true complete teachings’ outline will definitely include this. We should really understand this point. When we look at the outline, do not just read it once and hurriedly go straight into the later profound teachings before connecting with the earlier teachings. Under such circumstances, if any profound teachings are just for us to develop some affinity, this is such a huge waste. Do give special attention to this, special attention to this!

念死无常 : 念死是一切圆满之门

【其能治此忆念死者，即是一切圆满之门。】

关于这个执取不死，一定要有个对治的正确的。对治它什么呢？想着死，你想着死，什么事情都不管了，那是最最对我们有帮助的。所以所有的好的事情，都从这个概念上面来。所以下面一句话，

【故不应执，此是无余深法可修习者之所修持，】

所以我们千万不要说，哎呀，现在没有深的大法可修，修修这个啊！恰恰相反，不管你要修任何深细的大法，如果这个基础，你还没有修起来，你修那个再深、再远的大法，那都是没有基础的。不但是这个地方，你们看凡是完整的教授，它前面都先说明这个。所以真正的完整的修习的仪轨，它前面一定有这个，这一点我们千万要了解。我们看见那个仪轨，不要把它念一遍，念过了，然后急急忙忙地修那个后面的大法，而前面的那个不相应。在这种状态之下，再大的大法，对我们只是结结缘，这是一种大浪费，这个地方千万注意，千万注意！
