Teaching from Phakchok Rinpoche

I said to not have regret, meaning if you are dying and say, "Oh, now I'm dying, I can't do anything. I didn't get a chance to do this! I didn't go there, or get to go in a Mercedes car! Ah!" Don't regret like this. This is bad regret. I said to not regret like that. However, of course regretting the bad things that you've done is a good thing.

War is quite bad, because one dies with anger. Dying with anger is very bad. Dying with ignorance is very bad. What to do? Before death one needs to be a good practitioner. If they are not a good practitioner, then we can only pray. That's all.

I said today to not be attached to this life. However, I didn't say, "Don't be attached to not wanting to do bad things." In Buddhism, first we practice mind changing. In preliminary practice, we practice the mind changing practice. Why? We want to make sure that your mind is controlled by you, not controlled by other. We need to control our thoughts, not let our thoughts control us. This sounds like nonsense, because you think, "What? Thought is me and I am thought!" "Okay, I'm doing practice… Just practice…" Nowadays we say, "I'm doing practice," but thinking, "I need to go to Thamel and have dinner. Tomorrow I have to study…" That is not practice; that is thinking. Thinking about what you're going to do. What I'm saying is that you need to control your mind and your thoughts. How do you do that? Think of positive thoughts, positive attachments; to change the negative to the positive, to put more into the positive. Nowadays we are more into the negative. A good attachment is compassion; relative compassion and relative Bodhicitta. Thought without attachment does not exist. "Without attachment" exists. It is clear; as wisdom.

By this merit may all attain omniscience,
May it defeat the enemy, wrongdoing,
From the stormy waves of birth, old age, sickness, and death;
From the ocean of Samsara,
May I free all beings!

May the precious mind of enlightenment,
Arise where it has not arisen,
Where it has arisen,
May it not wane,
But further and further increase!
