Not Squandering the Opportunity

生死事大

無常迅速

各宜醒覺

慎勿放逸。

shinmotsu hōitsu.

Life and death are matters of great importance. (please, I beg you not to fool yourself. It is really happening).

Nothing remains; everything changes. (impermanence)

Wake up to the experience that is present. (Notice... please stop trying to so-called 'find.' Reality is not playing hide and seek).

Attend carefully, and do not abandon this precious moment. (Truly live before this opportunity is exhausted - it's a powerful responsibility... please don't f*ck around and find out before it's too late).

一We Are the Practice Itself
