"Rinpoche quotes Lama Yeshe, saying that the benefit of not being dead is to be able to meet again. Yet, death can strike any time and in the next moment already we can be in any of the six realms. So it is important to make this retreat most benefial and in order to do that we should strive to subdue our mind. It is the mind that has created every single suffering since beginningless rebirths, and also every single happiness. By subduing the mind we protect us from cheating ourselves, as we did since beginningless time.
