About this talk. Lama Zopa Rinpoche opens this 116-minute teaching with a striking meditation: what will you do when facing the terrors of death? Through vivid instructions, he walks students through the intermediate state—being buried under rubble, swept by waves, hearing frightening sounds, witnessing judgment by Yama, and suffering the consequences of negative karma. This meditation cuts through distraction and awakens genuine urgency to practice now. Before addressing death, he establishes guru devotion—the essential relationship between teacher and student. He then addresses the practical structure of daily Tantric practice: how to balance foundational Lamrim study with advanced meditation, and emphasizes that even one day’s focused practice on the complete enlightenment path—visualizing one’s chosen deity and stages of realization—moves a practitioner measurably closer to liberation. For serious students familiar with Buddhist basics.

I shall secretly take upon myself all the harmful actions and suffering.
Undefiled by the stains, superstitions, the eight worldly concerns, may I, by perceiving of phenomenous illusory, be released in the bondage attachment. Page five. It’s page five. I marked it. Page five?
Yeah. Yeah. So I’ve got to continue there to finish the two page. So the other part of subject, this is what’s for this afternoon, so to continue tomorrow. Yeah, to the finishing plant today.
There will come a time when entering into roaring flames, all your flesh and bones are burned. And reduced to a pile of ash or time when your body, which can’t be even heavy cloth, is a wedged tight in a hole in the ground. This is going to happen too. There will come a time of announcing, of the of denouncing the deceased, him or herself, at the beginning and end of your sweet name. This is going to happen to me.
In a time in a time when the area is filled with the sobbing sounds of your affectionate clothes, companions, and a circle of servants. This is going to happen to you. There will come a time So, actually, this is a very good this is very good actually. While while it’s been read also to meditate, you know, that actually happening to you. And this is I think it was very, very powerful meditation.
But as he’s saying, it’s it’s happening to us obviously. That is very powerful meditation. There will come a time when your when your clothes clothes, hats, possessions, and lip stock will be divides up. Livestock. Livestock.
Livestock. I I commented on the paintings. I thought all the, you know, the livestock. When I read, I thought of that. All that things, like, And livestock will be divided up, including guitar and with nothing left in the four directions and the corners.
And there will come a time when in total despair alone, you reach the passage to the inter intermediate state. This is going to happen to you. The terrors of the four fearful enemies descending upon you are going to come. The terrors of four fearful enemies descending upon you are going to come. The appearance of being trapped under a mountain under a mountain of rock and rubble and buried beneath a furious avalanche of earth.
Now what to do? So this is the intermediate stage, you know, or the terrifying appearance. The appearance of being set the appearance of being set drift on the surface of a vast sea and carried away by violent, swirling waves. What to do? The experience of your heart and ears being split split open by the sizzling and crackling sounds of a fiery complexion.
What to do? The fearful experience of being involved as it being evolved. The fearful experience of being involved and swept away by the swirling by the swirling dark winds of the end of an eon, what do? When you are driven by the powerful red winds of karma and swallow up. When you are driven by the powerful red wings of karma and swallowed up by a terrifying darkness, what to do?
When you are bound with a with a lasso by the messengers of Yama and in total despair are led away, what to do? When you are tortured in so many detestable way detestable ways by ox and scorpion headed calming agents, what do do? We have to edit down the say, Mali. Mali. Mali.
Mali had it. When you are when you are before the Yama king, the lord of death, as he as he wakes up wakes. Wags. Wags. As he wags up the whites and blacks, your virtuous and non virtuous actions, what to do?
When Yama exposes your lie of having spent your human life in attachment with hatred and deceit, what to do? When at the when at Yama’s court, the punishment that is the ripening effect of your negative actions is meted out. What to do? When your naked body is stretched out on the glowing red hot iron ground in the fires of hell. What to do?
Though your body is cut to pieces by a rain or weapons, still you must experience it without dying. What to do? Though you are cooked in molten iron. Molten iron. Oh, that’s what I remember.
Though you are cooked in molten iron, until your flesh falls away and your bones disintegrate, still you must experience it without dying. What to do? Though your body and the fire burn inseparably, still you must experience it without dying. What do do? When your body is pierced by a freezing cold wind and cracks into a hundred thousand pieces.
What do do? Having fallen into the miserable state of a hungry ghost with these with its hunger and thirst, you have to starve for many years. What do do? When you have become one of the one of those stupid, dumb, unfortunate animals that eat each other alive, what to do? When the unbearable suffering of the evil gone realms have actually befallen you, what to do?
Now don’t be distracted with this with the sounds of with the sounds of hurrying. Low, low. Right this moment is the time to steal your will. Not it’s not only time. It’s almost too late.
Right now, right now, lower, lower. Apply yourself with a great force. Holy of the lama, kind father, heart of the authoritative scripture of the victorious Rasam, practice of the pure path of complete sūtra and tantra. It’s time to it’s time to place real experience upon your mind stream. Who’s who’s the faster?
Yama, the lord of death, or you in your practice of realizing the essence of your eternal dream? The welfare of both yourself and others as much as you can each day. Unifying the three doors of your body, speech, and mind. Put all your your effort into your practice. So This is a they could especially when one’s mind losing inspiration or mind so distracted with the by the by the activities of this life.
This sense, you know, pleasures. So the I would be it’s very good to read to read and meditate is one. Or or in the morning when you begin the day to read even even half of this. So that is, you know, even some part of this. So it reminds it’s written it it remind Dharma very seriously.
It makes to think of Dharma very seriously seriously to practice and to make correct decision in the life. The, you know, the that puts life in puts life this life that is off from the road to enlightenment. So road to happiness, the spirit enlightenment, that’s off. Keep keeping the bring back into path to enlightenment. So continue the journey.
It’s also good when you do retreat to use begin of the sessions. If you’re doing preliminary or session, date is routine also to use, you know, at the beginning, the mind to make pure inspiration. So even to read some part. And then next part, another session could also could that. It’s a very good tool.
It’s where it’s a kind of a teaching very powerful teaching to recharge mind, the inspiration, to to pull out to pull out life or to bring back the Dharma from destruction of the engaging heavenly karma or life getting lost or whatever. Like a horse or animal animal that that you are riding on, then if it goes wrong way, it goes off from the road, which leads to where you want to be. It was gossip, then you hit, know, we burn, you hit and keeps in the main road. So then it goes this way, then you hit the other side and then keeps the animal in the to go in the road that which leads to where you wish to be, I mean, it’s for happiness. So all of that, so impairment the great teacher, Geshe Nima, from Daeboon Lusailing, who is one of the top learned famous one from Tibet, from all those among many thousands of was one of the top learned one.
That is when I took some teachings on the present time with our commentary on the fourth chapter, some part from Gangnam. And Lama took the country ground parts. I appreciate that. Not the one of the Tibetan monk, I think, one who was Eberto, the nunnery dancer also, think one of the house, the Lama went to take the teachings. So I took up to Kālacakra from Gishinima, which is at in his room.
I was I was staying in his home, which is house, and then I used to go there to. So Geshe la is very skillful. So the way he does is he likes me to read the text. If he doesn’t read the text, he’ll read me to read the text, and then he’ll give me commentary, which is very interesting, isn’t it? And then I don’t fall asleep.
It’s a very skillful it’s a very skillful way of doing there’s no chance to sleep, so first I have to read. Then few moments to give commentary that who is you know, great scholar but also experience path, you know? That see, Mr. Mishra said that, you know, the when you do sadhana, So there’s many pages. Quite a bit apart was about the mandala, all the decorations and deities and mandala.
So he said that when you have when you have realization of generation stage, then all the become all the become very, very short. So so means so what it means is the when you have realization of generation states, you see, whenever whenever you want whenever you want to whenever you want to visualize, everything in everything happens instantly. You know, whole visualization mandala. You are serving deity, whole visualization mandala. All the details and deities in the mandala, all the decorations, everything.
All these details, it instantly happens to your mind. You don’t have to go through every single details. So you don’t have to read the whole one by one. Everything just comes to you. That’s I think that’s why they can say that suddenly become very short.
So when he has realization of the generation stage, you know, the not subtle one, the gross generation stage, you see. So that’s also good sense to mention. So we have realization of that, then without effort, whenever you want or whenever you want, it just instantly that happens and everything goes through mind training. So so it means maybe so it means maybe we have to so it means maybe we have to hurry up to have realization so that so that we can so that that suddenly become very short. You can finish within five minutes.
So it is as it’s mentioned at the end. So like that. So every day, we put effort we put effort more in foundation, secret version, different path. If you don’t have those realizations, we put more effort in that, then next step for the Tangshan. We should we should we should attempt.
Of course, this is your one’s own choice. But generally speaking, one should attempt to also practice tantra because because life is short. Life is very short, and that can happen anytime. So therefore, therefore, you see, this is possible to receive perfect human birth is extremely rare. You know, this is about one just about once.
And then to not only to mid birth, but, of course, the Dharma, how rare the you know, I mean, similar to nirvana, even much more rare Mahāyāna teaching. Then extremely rare, then even much, much more rare tantra. Especially as tantra, it’s much more extremely rare to to meet the air and to meet at least, you know, at least to leave positive imprint. Even even if we don’t achieve realization, least to leave some positive imprint, make some connection in this life. At least now, even that now, to make some connection, by leaving some at least some positive imprint, by reciting sadhanas, you know, by the the how’s it?
By doing some meditation, at least leave some positive connection so that at least not empty. And so that in the future lives, you create a cause to meet tongue teaching again in the future lives or in those pure language that’s tongue teaching. However, then you see the cause in the future life to meet tongue teaching again to exercise path. So yes, but without taking initiation, then you are not allowed to hear commentaries that so the So and while one’s training mind in Lamrim, go to go to the first part. The starting your objective is bodhicitta bodhicitta to each if you like this line, but you start from the perfect image of birth.
Tati about the realization, but gradually to, you know, to realization, bodhicitta and his life. So no matter how many no matter how many hundreds per lifetime it takes, no matter how many years it takes. And also, other one is put in place. So that then later then to do oh, when the learn the teachings well, and then later then to do they achieved one point one point in this concentration of other other other other other other other should the contract related with the general stage or the complete stage, the tummo mentation. This is not rather that.
So if we do you do the technical practice like in the generation stage, yes, the completion stage, this was not about the two momentation. Then after you have some experience, this is not about you have some experience, some accomplishment there. So one of the other. So that was sort of advice similar to the public advice that this way the life is very short and so you don’t miss, so you achieve at least one of the realizations or something like that. So this next effort into a to illustrate some imprint by the segmentation.
You see, well, that connection. You see, though it’s not not the main it’s not the actual main time to spend put the main effort into that. So spending spending whole time into, you know, sadhana, but left out the lump room, interested in Tantra, but not left out the lump room. Then that wonder then can’t reach much. It’s not that much practical.
Because if one doesn’t have a lot of realizations or can’t reach much, can’t have much success or tantra. So that There’s a monastery in Takushi. I think Takushi. This is a very good monastery, Guru’s mastery. I think this from from from from whom teaching setting.
This is not like where doing extensive learning philosophy or mainly in personal study. But here here this monastery monastery is a measure on the basis of in the basis of the then the practice that that one year, the constitution of the monastery, the whole whole lumbar mentation and the two stages, whole mentation is divided within one year. So this this all the months, this what they meditate. In a one year, whole lump sum and then two stages. And so in one year, see that this this this the guru see teachings.
So his guru is a monastery. It’s a it’s a monastery. A man and practice not so much not so much emphasis of expanding the study, but it’s more on the basis of the basis of learning the essence, then maintains the proper impact. So that’s a very interesting very interesting way of set up this monastery. Very, very good.
I guess, basically, for the individual person, is easier, I think, more beneficial, I think, as a man. As far as the karma augmentation, whether you do just in breathing or, you know, they are focused on, you know, focus on focus on the Buddhist holy body. Something that is the size of tongue, I’d say, very small. Of course, as explained, there’s there’s there’s sort of teachings like that or, or some by using the mind as object. Will all relate with understanding, basically, individual person’s karma, you know, which was easy to have realization, I think.
However, one one the the very last the very last thing, all this all this is done on the basis of on the basis of the very last practice. That is the one day going through lamrim prayer, foundation good quality or lamrim capacity, the hints of the experience we had that or any of the augmentation of this whole stages of the The basically, on the foundation of Tangshan. Then another gradual part another gradual another prayer or gradual part of Tangshan of your deity, That was a deity that deity that has the deity’s gradual part. So one prayer, one meditation prayer say, on that. So these two, the the prayer or gradual which is a mode which has a more detailed explanation to tell how to how to go about its enlightenment by practicing contract.
So which comes usually end of the long version of sadhana. The whole path to enlightenment whole path to enlightenment of the deity comes end of the long version of sadhana. So that one, that and the long one long pair. These two these two so minimum. So this very essential to read to every day to read these two these two direct mentation on these two.
So, of course of course, more appropriate if one has received received high consciousness so that one when you can read when you read or you read you read the prayer of the holopath during enlightenment of your deity, So you can read the commentary and you have some then you this way, you get some understanding about the prayer that shows how that that goes straight, you know, shows the whole stage apart, something that apart to enlighten. So these two pair, not just one lump sum, but also so this is the very last thing to do to leave to leave imprint, to to plant to plant a seed to plant a seed of the the whole lumbler path and then hold the stage of path of the stage of path of your deity to plant seed of all other realizations on the path in your mental to continue. And So that so each each time when you do that, it plants into the whole path. So that’s as I advised, that’s the various essential thing. Every every day you plant seed of the whole path enlightenment.
So that means every day you make your life close to enlightenment. That means closer to enlighten all sentient beings. Liberate the number of sentient beings from oceans of some kind of sufferings and enlightenment. So how many times you do that in one day to, you know, they do they do for them, they are different sadhanas, then there’s a gradual tantra path end of that end of the daily. So each time when you do that, then you see your leave.
Yeah. They will be closer and closer each time when you do. Each one day, how many times you do number and prayer, you become closer that much to the realizations of passing. This this is one very basic thing. Then other one is training the mind in the, you know, the base of that.
So as a main thing, the main effort in this, then other ones, they do some things, but also that. And then we I would like to continue the the how to make a life meaningful. That is this time, I would like to extend it just generally, also education oneself and to help others. So that so that so that many so many other sentient beings, those who yeah. So many other sentient beings.
Those who have human body, then can make their lives meaningful meaningful in everyday life in so many ways. So I think that seems very, very, very important. But benefit to others in so many different ways from that. Yeah. We haven’t finished the lemur.
