在死亡之時 ，無論你的屍身是用檀香木的柴堆燒毀，或是在人煙渺茫之處被禽鳥和狗兒吞食，其實都是一樣的。你會繼續前行，而一路相伴的將是你生前所作的一切善行或惡行。
“清淨障蔽，積聚資糧”
"Unless you have made a clear decision to turn your back on samsara, then however many prayers you recite, however much you meditate, however many years you remain in retreat, it will all be in vain. You may have a long life, but it will be without essence. You may accumulate great wealth, but it will be meaningless. The only thing that is really worth doing is to get steadily closer to enlightenment and further away from samsara. Think about it carefully." Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche.
「除非你已決意背離輪迴，否則，不管你念多少祈願、做多少禪修、閉多少年的關，都是徒勞。你也許能長命百歲，但那長壽卻缺乏實質；你也許能積聚大量財富，但那財富卻毫無意義。唯一值得去做的事，就是堅定地趨向證悟，並遠離輪迴。仔細想一想吧。」 —怙主頂果欽哲仁波切開示
