Description: H.H. The Dalai Lama teaches about the truth of suffering, the Three Characteristics of Existence, and the dissolution of the body's elements at death. Meditating on impermanence and the momentary changing nature of existence helps viewers appreciate the basic unsatisfactory nature of existence, and strive towards liberation. Causally produced things all depend on causes and conditions which contain within them the seeds of their own disintegration. His Holiness encourages viewers to develop an awareness of death and move from gross understanding to more subtle levels. We need to train our mind in virtuous mental states because our state of mind at the moment of death conditions our next rebirth. Practicing developing positive states of mind is therefore of fundamental importance. -- from Container.
