Daily quote from the collected works of Venerable Geshe-la

In the scriptures, meditation on death is said to be a hammer that shatters our delusions. It is a powerful means of eliminating both our delusions and our negative actions of body, speech, and mind.

Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche,
Joyful Path of Good Fortune
