Moments of Our Life

From the "Tibetan Book of the Dead":

"The moments of our life are not expendable,
And the possible circumstances of death are beyond imagination.
If you do not achieve an undaunted confident security now,
What point is there in your being alive, O living creature?"

What this says to me is "Get out of your depression NOW so that you can enjoy life you have while you still have it!"

The premise of the book is interesting. If you truly understand the consequences of death, life takes on more meaning.

I'm going to work on this.
