A Survey of the Paths of Tibetan Buddhism pdf Далай Лама
Our lives pass in a very hectic way. Whether we behave well or not, time never waits, still constantly changing. Plus, our own lives are constantly passing by, so if something goes wrong we can't go back [to correct it]. Life diminishes over time. Therefore, it is very important to examine the mental disposition. We also need to constantly examine ourselves in our daily lives. This is very helpful in helping us find our own direction in life. If we live in mindfulness and awareness every day, we can regularly review our motivations and behavior. [Thanks to that,] one can perfect and transform oneself.
We pass our lives very busily. Whether we behave well or not, time never waits for us, but goes on forever changing. In addition, our own lives continuously move on, so if something goes wrong, we cannot repeat it. Life is always running out. Therefore, it is very important to examine our mental attitude. We also constantly need to examine ourselves in day to day life, which is very helpful to give ourselves guidelines. If we live each day with mindfulness and alertness, we can keep a check on our motivation and behaviour. We can improve and transform ourselves.
