We cannot hope to die peacefully if our lives have been full of violence, or if our minds have mostly been agitated by emotions like anger, attachment, or fear. So if we wish to die well, we must learn how to live well: Hoping for a peaceful death, we must cultivate peace in our mind, and in our way of life.
Dalai LamaOur attitude towards suffering becomes very important because it can affect how we cope with suffering when it arises.
Dalai LamaAnger, hatred and jealousy never solve problems, only affection, concern and respect can do that.
