Rainbowhill: Some day you will die. Lying on your sick...

Notes: 1

Some day you will die.

Lying on your sick bed about to breathe your last,
you will be assailed by every kind of pain,

Your mind will be filled with fears and anxieties
and you will not know where to go or what to do,

Only then you will realize you have not practiced well.

The aggregates and the four elements in you will quickly disintegrate,
and your consciousness will be pulled
wherever your ancient, twisted karma leads it.

Impermanence does not hesitate.

Death will not wait.

You will not be able to extend your life by even a second.

How many thousands times more will you have to pass through the gates of birth and death.

If these words are challenging,
even insulting,
let them be an encouragement for you to change

Practice heroically

Do not accumulate unnecessary possessions.

Don’t give up.

Still your mind,
end wrong perceptions,
concentrate and do not
run after the objects of your senses.

Practice diligently.

Be determined not to let your days and months pass by wastefully.
