We are puppets |
I reflect on death, realizing that time waits for no one. That's why I made
"Kathina" offerings, robe offerings to monks, while I still could. Any day
could be my last. I don't know when I will pass away, so I rushed to make
more merit, realizing that merit is the only thing I can take with me when
I die. We can't take anything with us when we die, except merit and demerit.
We are like puppets; merit and demerit are our puppet masters. When we
do good deeds, merit pulls us up. When we do bad deeds, demerit pushes
us down. |
