Further Reflections<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

13:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

This life is but time
‘borrowed’ from death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

If you treasure your life,
waste not even a second
on that pointless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Transform grief for that lost
to rejoice for that left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

16:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The more the joy
for the fleeting,
the less the bliss
of the lasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

17:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Transform mundane worldly desires
to noble world-transcending aspirations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

18:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The purest ‘entertainment’
is in the bliss
of Dharma learning and practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

19:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Before physical death,
may there be spiritual life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

20:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

To focus your life,
defocus on what does not matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

21:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

What consumes your time
consumes your life,
including unwise emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

22:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The unwise cling
to otherwise momentary anger
to continue punishing themselves with rage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

23:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

If you do not say no
to what does not really matter,
can you say yes
to what really does matter?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
