A Quite Advantageous Daily Routine:
One should often contemplate the inevitable fact of
DEATH!
Why
actually doing this?
Because this inevitably makes one approach
Nibbāna – The only
Deathless Destination - ...
Neglecting thinking about death makes one accumulate future rebirths, and thereby also
future rounds of ageing, decay, sickness and inevitable death!
This is thus only Suffering!
Considering death is therefore quite advantageous, but
initially not exactly pleasant...
Death contemplation gradually
gives fearlessness of death, and evaporate all other anxieties.
Neglecting death is therefore detrimental, though more dull and pleasant
as if anesthetized ...
This fact remains: One looses
ALL again
and again at the moment of death including this body...
Death itself is painless and should not be feared.. It is
life itself that is painful and dreadful
and thus should
be feared! The only way to escape
this life-death-cycle is not to be (re)-born...
Only that is
Peace ! Only this is
Freedom from all future suffering!
Only that is END
of all pain...
Only such final
cessation of
Samsara
is
- in itself - irreversibly lasting Happiness
!
As the
Buddha Gotama said:
Nibbānam paranam
sukham...
Nibbāna is the Highest Bliss!
