Gen-la discusses the first 3 dangers of not meditating on death and not developing mindfulness of death. The first is not remembering dharma and death. The second one is if we do remember dharma but don’t remember our death we won’t put dharma into practice. So even if we remember dharma, and put it into practice, if we don’t have mindfulness of death our dharma practice will be impure. Gen-la discusses what pure dharma is. Renouncing attachment to this life.
