"Close the door. Write with no one looking over your shoulder. Don't try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say. It's the one and only thing you have to offer. "

Death and Impermanence


Death is inevitable, it occurs to all, one or the other way. No one can escape death; everyone will have to pass through it. And one should always be aware and prepared to face it.

It is always reminded to us in everything we do, for example, if we twist our ankle and fall, this is telling us to remind our self of death, a sign showing that death can happen in anyways.

Sufferings are caused by desires, attachments, ill thinking, etc. So one should try to avoid all these things with time so that at the time of departing from one’s body only the positive environment will float rather than negative.

It is hard but one can overcome it, it will take a lot of time indeed but one should have patience, path to nirvana is always not so easy. One should suffer but can succeed.

Actually if we think deeply, everything is just temporary, tong pa ne, even our body. At the time of death, we have to leave our body behind.  Nothing remains till the end. Impermanence is what that is called.

So get reminded of our self about death and impermanence always, everyday and feel the difference in oneself, that changing attitude of oneself. It feels great.
All The Best!
