Die in Success

Has anyone termed u a failure, and told you that you will not succeed in anything in life.
Do not worry or be concerned. I am sure that there will be at least one thing which you will definitely succeed in!

"We'll all die successfully"
Sogyal Rinpoche

That will be our one last successful action in this life time.
No one can actually fail to die.

One point of this entry is to share that success is not necessarily important in life. What is success worth when we die? What is failure cos we still die.

Another point, is that there is nothing to fear in death.
Death is another one of those processes that we all go thru. Just like puberty or menopause, etc.
Since it is something that we do not have much control over, there is no need to give it overdue attention. Much less to fear it.

If there is fear (at least for some Buddhist), it might be coz they know that they have not been culitvating good and avoiding evil in this life. But that fear should drive them to practice and do good and avoid evil. Win-win I think....
