Although the precious human life is an extremely excellent basis for spiritual development, it is also impermanent and will necessarily end when we die. Instead of trying not to think about this, we should confront the fact of death and impermanence, and use it as a way to remind ourselves to make full use of our precious human potential. In this talk, Geshe Phende will talk about the meditation of death and impermanence and why it is important for our spiritual lives.
