哦！就像被带到屠宰场的囚犯一样，每走一步都接近死亡。正如大学者龙树所说：死亡的因缘众多，生存的因缘稀少。即使是生存的因缘，也会变成死亡的因缘。因此，要恒常精进于佛法。正如《宝积经》所说：朋友们，此生无常，如悬崖上的湍急流水般迅速。因为孩童般的人们没有领悟，所以被无知的欲望傲慢所麻醉。正如经中所说：死主魔鬼就像蹲守的猎人、鸟和鱼。生老病死就像自动研磨的图案。从这个世界上，无论大小、贫富，没有一个能逃脱死主的手掌。此外，在《大乘瑜伽》中说：过去死去的长辈们，总是期望着积累儿子和财富，但儿子和财富对来世的自己几乎没有帮助。如是说，因为如此无常，一瞬间也不停留地逝去，所以没有时间懒惰。如是引用众多经续中的教证，以生起厌离心。如此修习死亡无常的过患，领悟到世间的一切行为都是无常的，从而更加平息自心，生起精进于佛法等证悟。即使修习了无常，如果对今生的欲望更加强烈，如果不依恋寂静之处，那么在没有生起证悟之前，也要继续修习。这是所有佛法的精髓，如果对此没有产生效果，那么就不会生起修习的证悟，因此对此精进非常重要。无论是上、中、下根器的人，都能因此而解脱，因此对此努力非常重要。当看到不忆念死亡的众生时，直到生起泪如雨下的悲悯心为止，都要修习。对此修习三个晚上。如此修习，暂时能获得圆满的安乐，最终能成佛。去体验吧！在《中阴六法的窍诀——自解脱意》中，修习死亡无常，是第三座法。这三者是调伏自心的前行，首先对这三者精进是非常重要的。如果对这些没有打好基础，那么其他所有的佛法都会因此而滑落，那些佛法只会徒增烦恼。

O! Like a prisoner being led to the slaughter, with each step drawing closer to death. As the great scholar Nagarjuna said: The causes of death are many, the causes of life are few. Even the causes of life can turn into causes of death. Therefore, one should constantly strive in the Dharma. As it says in the Jewel Peak Sutra: Friends, this life is impermanent, as swift as a torrent of water on a steep cliff. Because childish beings do not realize this, they are intoxicated by the arrogance of ignorant desires. As it says in the Sutra: The Lord of Death, the Mara, is like a lurking hunter, bird, and fish. Birth, old age, sickness, and death are like a self-grinding pattern. From this world, all, great and small, rich and poor, none can escape the grasp of the Lord of Death. Furthermore, in the Great Vehicle Yoga it says: All the elders who have died in the past, always hoping to accumulate sons and wealth, but sons and wealth are of little benefit to oneself in the next life. Thus it is said, because it is so impermanent, passing away without staying for even a moment, there is no time to be lazy. Thus, quoting many scriptural authorities, one should generate renunciation. Having practiced contemplating the faults of such death and impermanence, understanding that all worldly activities are impermanent, one's own mind becomes more peaceful, and experiences such as diligence in the Dharma arise. Even if one has meditated on impermanence, if the desires of this life become stronger, and if one does not become attached to solitary places, then one should meditate until experience arises. This is the essence of all Dharmas, if one does not gain benefit from this, then meditative experience will not arise, therefore diligence in this is very important. Whichever of the superior, middling, or inferior faculties, one will be liberated by this, therefore effort in this is very important. When seeing sentient beings who do not remember death, meditate until compassion arises with tears streaming down. Meditate on this for three nights. Having meditated in this way, one will temporarily obtain perfect happiness, and ultimately attain Buddhahood. Experience it! In the Quintessential Instructions on the Six Bardos - Self-Liberation of Intentions, meditating on death and impermanence is the third Dharma session. These three are the preliminaries for taming one's own mind, it is extremely important to first be diligent in these three. If one does not establish a firm foundation in these, then all other Dharmas will slip away, and those Dharmas will only increase afflictions.
