Yangthang Rinpoche
Please trust and follow the principle of cause-and-effect. Although we have
obtained a human life, there is not much time remaining. Before long, we will become a bardo
being. When entering the bardo, if we
can bring along some merits, that is very important.
Do not underestimate — thinking that this merit is very small or that virtue is
not big. Whether the merit is small or
little does not matter, just continue on practicing virtues.
Heavy negative karma starts from small non-virtues. It is not easy to purify
heavy karmas, so you should not create even the smallest non-virtues. Avoid all non-virtues, create all virtues,
purify your own mind.
Follow the law of cause-and-effect. One
day, when we 'go home', we will feel more confident, remembering that we have
accumulated some little merits in our pockets and that we can bring some of these along.
In brief, our minds need this little bit of confidence. Then it will be
useful and excellent.
