Preparing to Die

Tulku Thondup Rinpoche

Making merits and aspirations is the way of gaining peace, joy, and enlightenment for oneself and sharing them with others.

The first thing is for you to recognize that you are dead. Secondly, you should know that all the phenomena that you are experiencing now are bardo phenomena. Know that everything is the expression of your own mind

Everything that is happening is the expression of your mind. It is better not to get caught up in that expression but to capture the royal seat of the nature of mind.

just let go of whatever you are able to let go of, and gradually work your way into what you are not able to let go of, and then try to release that.

Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche

The main thing, the best thing is to just let go of everything.

if we can’t work with every moment then we will definitely not be able to work with that moment. So setting our mind in that direction, setting our mind in that way, preparing and working with every moment is the best way to prepare for death. And don’t make death a big deal.

Live your life fully. And use every moment, every opportunity, in a way that is beneficial for oneself and for others.

Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche
