DEATH

A.The Buddha taught: In all time to plow, autumn is the most suitable season, all the fuel used to fire, the best cow dung, also in all kinds of enlightenment, enlightenment to impermanence. And the enlightenment of death is the most sublime enlightenment. Death is a sure thing to happen, but as long as it will happen, it will be difficult to achieve. When faced with everything, we No one can know what will happen before tomorrow or death. It can not be asserted that the old man will die before his youth will be saved later.Ta can cultivate a real consciousness is the most Look at the whole thing, but be prepared for the worst. If the worst situation does not happen, everything is fine, but

Throughout the daily news, we hear the announcement of the death of a friend, of someone not familiar or of a relative. Sometimes we experience a loss; Sometimes we are almost cheerful, but we still have the idea that death does not happen to us. I think that I am exempt from impermanence, and therefore, can shelter (may help us prepare for death), and think that we have more time in the future. When this unavoidable moment happens, we have one thing left to regret. We need to enter the monkhood immediately to be prepared, even if the death occurs quickly enough.

When the moment of death has been scored, no situation can stop it. Anything you have cannabis, withstand so much illness, death will still have to happen.

If we aspire to the lives of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the past; All are now only memories. Indian monks such as Nagarjuna and Asanga have made great contributions to the Dharma and attempted for the benefit of so many sentient beings. What is left of them now is purely a name. This also applies to the great rulers and political leaders. Their lives, because they are so bright, they seem alive. When going to India, We will discover places like Nalanda University that contemporary masters such as Nagarjuna Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva Infinite have studied and taught there.Nalanda is now just wall to wall fall. Remains of the great characters in history,

No one can ever be far from death from birth. On the contrary, it is increasingly near death as animals are extradited to slaughter. Use the whip to extradite their bulls back to the stables, we too, dulled by the suffering of old age sickness, increasingly closer to the finale of life. the world is dominated by impermanence; The seventh Dalai Lama often teaches: "Young people who look very strong and very well but die prematurely are truly teachers of morality. often. "In all the acquaintances, no one is a hundred years old. The dead can not be rotated either by word of mouth or by a powerful political leader.

Over the years I have met so many people, but now it's all in the memory. Now I know some new people, like watching a drama. After the acting role is over, people will change their appearance to reappear.

If we spend all our short lives in the direction of greed and anger, and because of such short life and increased affliction, the damage is very long because it destroys itself. and hope for a peaceful end.

Sometimes, if we do not succeed in some secular world, there is nothing to worry about. But if we waste the precious opportunity of this human life, then we will be disappointed. The future lies in the palm of our hands-whether we want to experience the agony of suffering when we are dishonored into the world of non-human beings - or we want to be reincarnated in the higher realms - We Shantideva teach that, in this life, we have the opportunity, the responsibility, the power to determine and decide for our future life. Cultivate your mind so that life is not wasted - whether holy or one day - and be prepared for the moment of death.

If you can cultivate such understanding to promote spiritual practice progress will come from internal-that is a factor, the engine consistently nhat.Ngai Sha-ra-wa Geshe [1](1070- 1141) teaches: "His best teacher is the practice of impermanence."

When faced with death, the most virtuous practitioners will feel happy, the middle-class practitioners have prepared themselves perfectly, and even the worst practitioners will have no regrets. In our lives, it is very important not to have a grudge. If not, the negative experiences at the moment of death affect our reincarnation. To make life meaningful is to go on the path of compassion.

If you meditate on death and impermanence, you will start to make your life more meaningful. Maybe you will think: sooner or later have to leave, no reason to remember thinking of death on This moment, because it is purely pessimistic and worrisome. However, the enlightenment of death and of impermanence can have tremendous benefits. If the mind is restrained by the feeling that they We are immortal, we will never really go out on the path of Dharma to practice. The faith that will be immortal is the great block that blocks your religious process; You do not obey whether you may also remember the Dharma, or you are not radical but only obey the Dharma to a certain level. You will lose effort and work diligently on the way to the tired and tired of depression will cover you. You will be born deep attachment to the title; When we think so deeply about our present life, we tend to serve people for love - for our friends, for our friends. We have to work hard to bring joy to them. When someone wants to harm them, we immediately put a label on this group as they are our enemy. Brain as craving and anger will. From then on it floods the river into the lower. These defilements will naturally induce us to fall into all kinds of negative evil acts that lead to the future being reborn into the lower realms. . You will give birth to deep attachment to the title; When we think so deeply about our present life, we tend to serve people for love - for our friends, for our friends.

With merit accumulates a small blessing, we have a treasure. The remaining blessings will reveal the life of each step respectively. Therefore, a little capital savings. If you do not pick up something new again, it will be the same as consuming your savings account without giving up any new money. If the indicator of blessed merit has accumulated, sooner or later will also head into the place of suffering in the postmodern life.

For death, if there is no proper comment, death will be scared and regretted. This kind of feeling will lead us to the lower realm. Many people avoid talking about death. They avoid thoughts of the worst evil things and then when things come true, they will be completely terrified and will not be able to turn again.

Follow the Buddha's teachings often we should not turn away with all unfortunate. Turn back to acknowledge and face with misfortune, so that when we experiment and realize the pain is not really not. The only way to avoid the problem is not to help but to actually only make it worse.

Some people note that the practice of Buddhism seems to emphasize only the suffering and the pessimistic pessimism. I think that this is completely wrong. Actually, the practice of Buddhism is the effort to achieve. There is an eternal peace - it is unimaginable for a simple soul-only one extermination that is permanently freed from suffering. The rabbis are not satisfied with the richness of life. is not alone or expect the full glory of future lives, but instead is the pursuit of ultimate happiness bliss.

The basic idea of ​​Buddhism is that because suffering is a genuine entity that is intrinsically trying to avoid, it can not solve the problem. The thing to do is face it, face to face, Identify the causes and find the best ways to help you cope with the suffering itself. For those who are often hiding from thoughts of unhappiness, the reality when it is attacked. They will not be prepared and will be tortured more than those who are familiar with suffering, the source and the way of suffering arise. A practitioner of Buddhism, everyday think to death, thinking about the suffering of humanity such as suffering, suffering, suffering and death. Tantang practitioners are expected to undergo a death process. Like in the interior every day will die once. As they are dying and become accustomed to death, they are ready to face the dead. If they are to cross a dangerous land and first know how to deal with it. Do not think before being foolish madness sir! Whether you like it or not, you must go there. Therefore, it is better to be prepared so that when the danger comes, you will know how to respond.

If you have a complete consciousness of death, you feel sure that you are about to go away. Then, if you find out that you may be dead by now, You will endeavor to isolate yourself from physical attachments by eliminating all your possessions and viewing the secular riches as meaningless and meaningless. The victory of awakening to death will make life full of your mind. When approached by death, you will feel joy and life without regret.

Often, knowing that death is a sure thing to come and it does not determine when it will come; You will dedicate yourself to the future that you prepared yourself. You will realize that the riches and all the mundane activities are without substance and no longer important. Therefore, work for the sustainable benefit. long of yourself and of others seems much more important, and your life will be led according to such understanding.

As Milarepa [2] taught: "Sooner or later everything will be left behind, why not leave now?" It is unlikely that many people are over a hundred years old, even with all their might. There are also three exceptions, but six or seventy years later, most people who read this book have died. After a hundred years, people will die. Just remember to think of our times as a period of history.

When there is near death, there is only a great compassionate mind and how much understanding of the nature of reality that has been reached so far is the only benefit.

According to this view, the verification of whether life is right behind the dead has other lives or not is great. Past and present life is present for the following reasons: Some specific thinking patterns from last year, from the previous year, and even from childhood can now be recalled. This clearly shows that a consciousness exists before the present consciousness. The first naught of consciousness in life is not without cause but created. It does not have to be free from anything that is immature or lifeless. The moment of spirituality is something that is pure and clear. Therefore, before it, there must be a pure and clear object. That is the money that spiritual moment.

Although the physical body may serve as the subordinate cause of subtle transformation in the mind; But it can not be the first cause. The substance never turns into spirituality, and spirituality does not translate into matter. Thus, spirituality is rooted in spirituality. This present life comes from the spiritual life of the previous life and serve as the cause of the next spiritual life. When you recall the death and not stop the alert, your life becomes full of meaning.

Understanding the great disadvantages of our natural attachment to what we think is permanent; We must fight against it and be constantly wary of death so that we will be encouraged to do more serious cultivation. "Tsong-kha-pa taught that" the importance of alertness to Death is not limited to the first stage. It is vital and throughout all stages of Bodhi (enlightenment); It is important from the beginning, through the middle and the last. "

Mindfulness for the death that we are obliged to cultivate is not a common fear of being separated from our loved ones and possessions. The fear of death is that we can not eradicate all causes of rebirth into the lower world. And, we will leave the world when we do not have enough conditions necessary for a favorite samsara. If the two goals are not fulfilled, then at the moment of dying, we will be restrained by the enmity and repentance. All life delineates the negative actions. good because of hatred and desires; The damage is not only temporary, but very long because we have accumulated and accumulated many conditions conditions cause damage to the future births.Fearly so, The more we will make our daily activities more meaningful. Achieving awareness of such death; We see riches, secular work is no longer important and will work for a brighter future. That is the purpose of contemplation of death. If we are scared of death now, we will look beyond fear; But if we try to avoid the fear of death, we are besieged by hatred at that moment. Tsong-Kha-Pa teaches that " When our contemplation of impermanence becomes stable, everything encounters teaches us the eternal law. " He said that the process of dying began in the womb and even when he was alive. His life was unbroken by sickness and old age. As he was living healthy, We should not be tempted to think that we will not die. We should not be too happy but forget all things when we are well; Better yet, be prepared for the future. Like; Those who are falling from the high hole will not rejoice before they touch the ground.Need to think that: As long as we are alive, we also have a lot of time to practice. Being 100 years old, I also absolutely never be subdued by the feeling that there is still more time to practice later. Do not be influenced by the delay because it is a form of lazy.Pân Half of a person's life is spent sleeping and the rest of the time is distracted by the world. When old age piles up, organ and mental decline, it is too late to cultivate too late for me. There is strength as well. Like the teachings taught; spend half a life in sleep, For ten years I am a child, twenty years old. The middle period is distorted by anxiety, sorrow, suffering, and boredom. So there seems to be no time left. practice the Dharma! If you live for sixty years, try to spend all the time as a kid, sleeping time is also the age of old age; I will reveal that; Only about five years to dedicate to the process of spiritual practice. Instead of living a simple life as today, if we are not careful effort to shoulder the path of practice, it is certain that we have. live a life of no occupation and no purpose at all.Gong-thang Rinpoche If you live for sixty years, try to spend all the time as a kid, sleeping time is also the age of old age; I will reveal that; Only about five years to dedicate to the process of spiritual practice.

Others think about how I miss my spiritual pursuit. "

About fourteen and fifteen years old, I started to really care about Buddhism. Then the Chinese came and I spent years with all kinds of political turmoil. went to China and visited India in 1956. After that, he returned to Tibet, and again wasted some time in political affairs. The most obvious thing that I could remember was Attendance exam for the Geshe ministry [4] (highest degree in Tibetan monastic university); Then I forced to leave my hometown. I have been living in exile for more than thirty years now, but I still study and study, but most of my life goes without meaning. If you think about the practice of "Supreme Master of the Elderly"[5] , I no longer have the capacity to practice some of these practices. My body structure has started to deteriorate with age. Again, it needs to be carefully sorted out.

If forced to embark on a long journey; At some point, it is necessary to be prepared. As often as I like to say, I should invest fifty percent of my time and energy to care about future life and fifty percent all problems in the present life.

The more food and medications that we often see as things that can sustain our lives, can become deadly. Many diseases are present. It seems to be the source of our food. Chemical products used for the cultivation of agricultural products and animals have contributed to the damage to health and cause imbalance in the body. Too sensitive and weak, so if you are too fat, you will have all the problems: you can not stand firm, high blood pressure and your body becomes a burden. On the other hand, if you are too skinny Physical weakness and stamina will lead to all sorts of troubles. As a teenager, you fear not being included in the crowd. big and too old, you feel separated from the social group. This is the essence of our existence. If the injury is an external painful object, you may have a way of avoiding it; You can go underground or dive deep into the sea. But if the damage comes from the inside, you can not do anything. When I am not suffering, I have a healthy body; We must take advantage of the opportunity and grasp the essence. Capturing the essence of life is the effort to reach the natural world without suffering, not dead, not weakened and not afraid-that is the scene of the solution. Escape and Design. There is also a strong body; We must take advantage of the opportunity and grasp the essence. Capturing the essence of life is the effort to reach the natural world without suffering, not dead, not weakened and not afraid-that is the scene of the solution. Escape and Design. There is also a strong body; We must take advantage of the opportunity and grasp the essence. Capturing the essence of life is the effort to reach the natural world without suffering, not dead, not weakened and not afraid-that is the scene of the solution. Escape and Design.

The richest man in the world, at the time of death, even a simple possessor could not carry. Tsong-Kha-Pa taught that; If we have to leave behind the body that we have been so close to, marked as our own, moreover it has been pursuing us from childhood as the oldest companion. What questions to immediately let go of all material possessions. Most people spend a lot of time and energy, just pure effort to achieve riches and happiness in the present. At the moment of death, all secular activities such as worrying for our friends' relatives and competing with our opponents are suspended. Even with enough food to feed a hundred years, dying in hunger and even having clothes that are enough for a hundred years, will also die forever in the nakedness. When death comes,

You try to visualize the scene when you fall ill. Imagine you critically ill, the whole force dissipated; When you are near death, the doctor will have two ways of speaking: With the patient, the doctor will say: "Do not have anxiety, you will recover, absolutely should not bother, need to relax relaxed. With relatives relatives, the doctor will say: "Illness is very serious, should be rearranged". At that time, you do not have the opportunity to finish the work or complete the study. When lying down, the body weakened to the level as if no way to move. As you slowly get away, you feel your body becoming stiff as a fallen tree on your bed. You will really start to see your body. Your last words can not be heard even if everyone around you tries to understand what you want to do. The last food you eat is not a good thing but a mixture of drugs. You are not fit enough to swallow. You are forced to leave your best friends; You can come to countless lives after you meet them again. Respiratory mode will change and become a noisy mix. Slowly disintegrate the saints, breathing in and out breathing more and more urgently. Finally, one last breath, and that is the end of respiration. From then on, the name that once brought more joyful happiness to the family friends will be added a few words at the beginning of the sentence: "the deceased" .

At the moment of dying, the inner thoughts of good morality are decisive factors. It is our last chance to be left alone. We may have lived a cruel life but when we die we should try our best to nourish the mind. Honestly, if one can develop a strong and compassionate heart at this moment, hopefully we will be reborn into the realm of our own. Usually, intimacy plays a role. Very important. When a patient is dying, it is unfortunate for everyone else to let this person initiate anger and hatred. At least the dying person is also shown the image of the Buddhas and the Bodhisattvas. Since he can contemplate the Buddha and the Bodhisattva, he can emanate intense devotion and go out with a clear mind. good.

As near death, some signs of his future life can appear. Those who have honest thoughts will feel the darkness come to light or reach a spacious space. They will feel peaceful, see the spectacle of many magnificent things and will not feel the same painful death when death.

When people die, people start to think of greed and anger, then they will see all sorts of hallucinations and anxiety, anxiety and anxiety. Some people feel they are in a dark place, some people feel I have met people who are seriously ill and told me that when they fell ill, they had hallucinations. This is a sign of their future destiny. As a result of these signs, the dead will feel very chaotic, screaming and groaning, feeling as if they are being dragged down. They will feel terrible pain when they die. All of this is absolutely derived from self-centered ego. The dying person knows that the "human" they once loved is going to the dead. .

People who have spent the bulk of their lives on unwholesome deeds at death, according to legend, the process of subliminal dislocation [6] starts from the upper part of the body moving to the heart. In any case, consciousness is also really separated from the heart.

After death, human beings come to the intermediate state, ie, the middle body. [7]The body of the karma has several distinct characteristics; all the physiological functions are completed completely, the appearance of the Heart Shapeshifters will be the same as the appearance of beings that is about to reincarnate.For example: if it will reincarnate as human, If it is going to be the first animal to be born, then there will be the appearance of the animal itself. The central nervous system has such a strong vision that it can look through objects and roam around. Without being obstructed, the Center can only be seen by the same kind of Heart. For example, if a single Body is predestined to be reborn as a human it is only seen by The meditating body has been set up to reincarnate as human beings. high;

The meditation period lasts for seven days. After one week, if the meditator meets the appropriate situation, it will be reborn in the appropriate corresponding state. If not, the meditator will undergo a It is possible that this situation can occur seven times, but after forty-nine days, it no longer extends the karmic state and is forced to take the lead. Whether you like it or not. When the time has come for the body to reincarnate; He sees beings of the same genus with which he is having fun, and it raises his willingness to participate. The essence of life is to reproduce the life of his or her future parents. Parents and mother eggs are very unusual for the kennel. This meditating body will have the illusion that it may have slept together, despite the fact that it is not so. It is attached to attachment to the body. If you can almost reincarnate child. girls; According to the sutras, he will feel eager to push back the mother and will seek to sleep with the father motivated by attachment attachment. If one can be born as a son, he will feel He wants to fight his father but he is attached to his mother and will try to sleep with his mother. Because of the impulse of such a craving, he or she will follow the steps of the couple. No part of the body is revealed to the Prostate except the genitals and as a result it feels overwhelmed and angered. That indignation becomes a condition of inevitability. for the state of the Knee die and reincarnation into the womb. When the twins meet and reach the sensual peak, the sutras say, one or two drops of thick semen will combine with the mixed eggs mixed together as the cream floating on the heat. At that time, "consciousness "Of the Shining Body will stop completely and immediately enter this compound. It is a sign of advancing into the uterus. Although twins may not yet have sexual intercourse, but the kinship still has the illusion that parents are intercourse so it will advance to that place. Functional only for cases where the parent may not have intercourse but "consciousness" can still enter the body. This clearly identifies the case of "fetal prescriptions" The "consciousness" of the Respiratory Society will stop completely and immediately enter into this compound. It is a sign of advancing into the uterus.

When the bilirubin is collected, mixed and stored in a tube, "consciousness" can be incorporated into this mixture without the need for sexual intercourse.

Shantideva said that although the animals also seek to experience the pleasures of pleasure, and to avoid suffering in this life, they must devote themselves to the future; Otherwise, we will be like animals. The awakening to death is a solid jutsu of the entire path. Unless you develop this kind of enlightenment, if not, all methods of cultivation The other is blocked. The guiding principle is to guide us across the unfamiliar land; Dhamma is the food that feeds the journey, the Buddha Dharma is the captain leading us to the shore of Nirvana strangely. Therefore, put all the body, speech, harmony into the process of spiritual practice. Talking about the practice of contemplating death and impermanence is easy, but practicing cultivation is not easy indeed. And even when practicing;

It is from these changes that the source of a great encouragement is born. This will really give us a belief; END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.24/7/2018.
