This Precious Day
Thrangu Sekhar Retreat Center, Nepal, 27 December 2016
This day, today, is of inconceivable importance for all of our myriad future lives. Why? Because what we do today has the potential to bring benefit or harm to those countless future lives. Suppose that today, through your practice, you reduce or dent your afflictions just a little bit, or gain a tiny nugget of dharma wisdom, that’ll have a knock on effect in all your future lives.
Today’s opportunities are only here today, if we don’t use them well, we can’t get them back. Tomorrow’s opportunities are tomorrow’s opportunities – not today’s returned. So we cannot let our time go to waste, it’s absolutely essential that we make the most of it.
