There must be life and death, and no one can live endlessly. Because our karma is a sense of karma, no matter how you live, you can't exceed the limitations of karma, at most it's a hundred years old. By that time, the functions of the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body will all decline and become too old.

Because this karma body can only bear this lifespan, coupled with impermanence, it may not be able to live to life. Most people live in their 70s or 80s, and many others have died at the ages of 50 or 60, or even their 20s or 30s.

If they are born into the heavens, such as the four heavens, dou rate days, etc., because of their different karma, they will feel better than us and live longer, but they will die sooner or later. We can't think that we must live to be 80 or 100 years old.

The Buddha often warned us: Life is in the breath,If you don't come in one breath, the rest is the next life. What's more, there are more and more natural and man-made disasters in this world, so we have to think about impermanence-death will definitely come, and it is possible at any time.

Always visualize the impermanence of death, visualize the suffering of the three evil ways, it is a reminder to us, so that we can generate a sense of urgency, so as to work hard and avoid letting go.

But most people think that if they did not die today, they should not die tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Before death came, it seemed that it had nothing to do with him. Unexpectedly, if you don't prepare well, you will be caught off guard once death comes.

Shantiva Bodhisattva asked two very interesting questions in the " enthusiasm ": "Who gives me fearlessness? How can the cloud be free from suffering?" Why do you have no fear and peace of mind? Live? Why do you think you can definitely escape the suffering of reincarnation? Is it because you are a liberating saint, so you are not afraid of life and death, or because you are muddled and unaware of your own situation?

So we have to ask ourselves: Why is it fearless? What are the qualifications?
