Duoshi Rinpoche answered: Why do you need to think about impermanence and what are the benefits?

ask:Why think about impermanence and what are the benefits?

Duoshi Rinpoche answered:

(1)As the saying goes, “Even if there are mountains of gold and silver, you can’t take a piece of money when you die."Thinking that people will die in the end, everything outside of their bodies will be lost after death can reduce their greed for immediate benefits in this life.

(2)In the past, an old practitioner said, "I took off my shoes before going to bed tonight, and I don't know if I can wear them tomorrow morning."Or it is said, "If you swallow this breath, I don't know if you can breathe it out again." Life is so dangerous and fragile. Death will come at any time. All kinds of natural disasters and man-made disasters, water and fire thieves, wars of Wang Nan, car accidents, diseases, etc., it's over if you don't come in one breath.If you realize that death is impermanent, you will not push tomorrow today, and tomorrow will push the day after tomorrow, or you may hope to practice after retirement.It is hard to say whether there is tomorrow or retirement.How to face death?What should I do behind me?This requires planning and making arrangements.

(3)Realizing that one begins to die from the day of birth, the life span decreases by one day, and death approaches one day, which reminds oneself to give up its obsession with illusory things and use precious time to seek the true value of life.
