Life and death are important. Don't suffer them in vain.
To give up yourself without regret is the greatest charity.
Regardless of what we do, our karma has no hold on us.
But when you first embark on the Path, your awareness won't be focused. You're likely to see all sorts of strange, dreamlike scenes. But you shouldn't doubt that all such scenes come from your own mind and nowhere else.
Freeing oneself from words is liberation.
Don't hate life and death or love life and death. Keep your every thought free of delusion, and in life you'll witness the beginning of nirvana, and in death you'll experience the assurance of no rebirth.
