Living in the Face of Death: Advice from the Tibetan Masters by Glenn Mullin




The content of one’s mind at the moment of death is said to be of extreme importance in determining one’s next rebirth. 



Awakening from a dream is like rebirth.  Our dream body dies and we arise in a different form than we had conceived of only moments before in our dream.



Our life has no fixed or specific limit in the sense that we are not preordained from birth to die at some destined moment.  Rather, it is more a case of having certain danger points in our lives.



At every moment we have the choice of action, and as such have the ability to mold our future. The principles of karma are negative when we do not apply self-control, and when we live cruel, harmful lives.
