【Mindfulness of Death 念死无常】Hence, every day you must develop an awareness of the imminence of your death. 故日日中，定须发起必死之心

【Mindfulness of Death】- Hence, every day you must develop an awareness of the imminence of your death.

【Hence, every day you must develop an awareness of the imminence of your death in the following way.】

This is the most important crucial point of the mindfulness of death. Hence, every day we must think: “Today I will die!” The first thing in the morning is to think: “Today I am most fortunate! I had taken off my shoes yesterday and unexpectedly I can wear it again today! Therefore tomorrow I definitely will not be able to wear it again! As there is only today left, I must strive earnestly!” You will not busy yourself with anything else; while being in the kitchen, you will not care whether its gruel, dried rice, Chinese cabbage, or bean curd, it is just to fill your stomach quickly. Similarly, you will not spent too much time on other things and put your focus solely on practice. How could it be possible that you do not succeed, given your practice in this manner?

念死无常 : 故日日中，定须发起必死之心

【故日日中，定须发起必死之心。】

这个才是念死当中最重要的一个关键。所以我们每天一定要想：今天一定要死！早晨起来第一件事就想：啊！今天真大幸啊，居然昨天脱了这鞋子，今天又穿上了！那明天，明天一定不会再穿了，所以还有今天一天，赶快拼命努力啊！你什么事情都不会去忙，啊，跑到厨房里边，稀饭也好，干饭也好，什么白菜也好，豆腐也好，塞饱了肚子赶快好，就是这样。而剩下来所有的其他的事情，都是这样，你会全部精神去修行，这样修行还有不成功的吗？
