From a buddhist point of view, the actual experience of death is very important. although how or where we will be reborn is generally dependent on karmic forces, our state of mind at the time of death can influence the quality of our next rebirth. so at the moment of death, in spite of the great variety of karmas we have accumulated, if we make a special effort to generate a virtuous state of mind, we may strengthen and activate a virtuous karma, and so bring about a happy rebirth.

Death Karma Buddhist

More From Dalai Lama

Life rises out of death, death rises out of life; in being opposite they yearn to each other, they give birth to each other and are forever reborn. and with them, all is reborn, the flower of the apple tree, the light of the stars. in life is death. in death is rebirth. what then is life without death? life unchanging, everlasting, eternal?-what is it but death-death without rebirth?

What brings the karmic result from the patterns of our actions is not our action alone. as we intend and then act, we create [our] karma: so another key to understanding the creation of karma is becoming aware of intention. the heart is our garden, and along with each action there is an intention that is planted like a seed. the result of the patterns of our karma is the fruit of these seeds.

I was reborn," she said, her hot breath brushing his ear. "you were reborn," tengo said. "because i died once." "you died once," tengo repeated. "on a night when there was a cold rain falling," she said. "why did you die?" "so i would be reborn like this." "you would be reborn," tengo said. "more or less," she whispered quietly. "in all sorts of forms.

We need to practice acting in spite of fear, in spite of doubt, in spite of worry, in spite of uncertainty, in spite of inconvenience, in spite of discomfort, and even to practice acting when we're not in the mood to act.

Quality doesn't mean deep blacks and whatever tonal range. that's not quality, that's a kind of quality. the pictures of robert frank might strike someone as being sloppy-the tone range isn't right and things like that-but they're far superior to the pictures of ansel adams with regard to quality, because the quality of ansel adams, if i may say so, is essentially the quality of a postcard. but the quality of robert frank is a quality that has something to do with what he's doing, what his mind is. it's not balancing out the sky to the sand and so forth. it's got to do with intention.

One mongolian leader became a very, very brutal dictator and eventually became a murderer. previously, he was a monk, and then he became a revolutionary. under the influence of his new ideology, he actually killed his own teacher. pol pot's family background was buddhist. whether he himself was a buddhist at a young age, i don't know. even chairman mao's family background was buddhist. so one day, if the dalai lama becomes a mass murderer, he will become the most deadly of mass murderers.

Chuck noll knew how he could help people. he was a teacher. he was a guy that was very good at selecting people, getting them to fit in. he wasn't the guy that was going to sit there and motivate you, intrinsically. that wasn't what he was best at. so he hired people that were good at that.
