【The Origin of Suffering】- How does the mental karmic force arise at the moment of death? (1)
It has only been explained earlier that after we die, which realm we would be reborn in. But now it explains at the moment of death, how do we end up going to that particular realm? That is at your moment of death, the mentality associated with that particular realm, this type of mental karmic force would arise. As this mental karmic force arises, then you [are driven to] go there. This is the dominant factor. Now that we understand this point, this is why we must strive to cultivate while we are still living! In general, you should persistently accustom yourself to this habit. You must persistently accustom yourself in order to develop a strong force. It's just like that. This is why when we practice, say you are prostrating to the Buddha or reciting the Buddha's name, the recipient is powerful. And then it has to do with your performance [as well]–that is when you are doing something, your mental power is strong or you do so for a long time. What kind of performances are there? For example, when you are prostrating to the Buddha, there are times when you are prostrating without much thought. Even though you may be prostrating, you have no idea what your mind is thinking of. It may go to the extent of this, "Ah, it takes so long to do this!" I am sorry, that [kind of performance] is useless. Or perhaps your motivation could be very strong, a strong and powerful force.

希求解脱 : 临终前的心业力是怎么产生？1
那前面只是说，死了以后到哪一道，现在告诉我们临终的时候，怎么会到那一道去呢？就是你临终的时候，那一道的这个心理，那个心业力现起了。这个心业力现起了，那个时候你就到那里去，这个是它最主要的。因为我们了解了这一点，所以我们生前就要努力修行啊！你平常的时候不断地就养成功这个习惯，不断地就养成功强有力的力量，就这样。所以为什么我们做的时候，或者比如说拜佛、念佛，那个是对象力量强。还有呢加行—你在做的时候心里面力量很猛，时间很长。譬如说加行什么？譬如说你拜佛的时候，有的时候你就拜得浮浮泛泛，尽管你也在拜，心里面不晓得想什么，乃至于心里：唉，这个这么个长！对不起，那一点用场都没有。或者你的心里的意乐力量强，那就是强而有力的力量。
