Meditation - No Regrets at the Hour of Death
If you don't meditate in this life, you're wasting it. Make sure you have no regrets at the hour of your death. My benevolent Master, please protect sentient beings and bestow your blessings to calm jealousy. Generosity means nothing other than giving up your self-delusion. Self-discipline means nothing other than giving up one's falseness. Patience means nothing other than not being afraid of the ultimate reality.
Endurance means nothing other than never being separated from exercise. Concentration means nothing other than staying in the true nature. Wisdom means nothing other than understanding the true nature of things. Method simply means that everything one does is for the purpose of accumulating merit. Power means nothing other than conquering death. Prayers serve no purpose other than to accomplish the double benefit. Primal awareness means nothing other than realizing the true nature of three poisons.
