【Mindfulness of Death】- you need to take advantage of the time when you are well and healthy, to practice

You need to take advantage of the time when you are well and healthy, to practice. When sickness or death occurs, you will be fearless. Otherwise, when you are at ease and you are happily not working hard, wasting away your life, then wait till sickness befalls, ageing comes, at this time, this you can’t move, that you can’t move, even if you want to practice or do anything, it is too late, it is too late! On this, we must carefully and deeply contemplate, observe, so as to develop a kind of force to resolve changing our bad habits and push us to practice.

念死无常 : 趁安乐的时候努力修行

你事先趁这个安乐、健康的时候修行了，那么到了病、死的时候，你就一无畏惧。否则的话，你如果安乐的时候，你快快乐乐地不努力，把生命空空地浪费掉了。然后呢等到一旦病到了、老来了，这个时候样样东呀做不动、西呀做不动，你虽然要想修，要想做什么，来不及啦，来不及啦！这个我们好好地，要自己深深地努力思惟、观察，使得自己产生决定改变一向恶习的一种力量，推动自己去修行。
