22. WE ARE PUPPETS
I reflect on death, realizing that time waits for no one. That's why I made
'Kathina" offerings, re 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. October 28, 1991
"Kathina: Annual robe offering made to the temples whose member monks observe the Buddhist Lent.
23. DON'T LET TIME PASS BY USELESSLY
Our life is getting shorter and shorter. Hurry and do more good deeds. Don't
let time pass by you for naught. It's a pity to be wasting time. Time wasted
is life wasted. September 8, 1982
24. TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE
Lazy people are feeble-minded. They don't know how to think.
The moment you wake up, you should realize that days are going by, months
are going by, years are going by, and time waits for no one.
If you want to do something good, do it now and do it well.
Do only good things. When you make merit, you take merits with you as
your blessing. When you commit wrongdoings, you carry demerits with you
as your curse. May 10, 1992
