    Last Breath

    One day the end will come:


    Gasping for my last breath
    As elements dissolve.
    How will I die? I do not know
    But death is as certain
    As the changing seasons
    Will I remember my Guru?
    Will I shoot for Clear Light
    Or will I be stupefied and mindless?
    Our last breath
    Is a vehicle to our next life:
    Where will it take us?
    A time to live and a time to die;
    Life is a training to die well What else could it be?
