Dalai Lama XIV Quotes
One Of The Chief Reasons Desire And Hatred Arise Is That We Are Overly Attached To The Current Flow Of Life. We Have A Sense That It Will Last Forever, And With That Sort Of Attitude We Become Fixated On Superficialities - Material Possessions And Temporary Friends And Situations. To Overcome This Ignorance, You Need To Reflect On The Fact That A Day Is Coming When You Will Not Be Here. Even Though There Is No Certainty That You Will Die Tonight, When You Cultivate An Awareness Of Death, You Appreciate That You Could Die Tonight. With This Attitude, If There Is Something You Can Do That Will Help In Both This Life And The Next, You Will Give It Precedence Over Something That Would Help Only This Life In A Superficial Way.
