Concern For This Life
3 min readOct 13, 2021
“Separated from each and every long-awaited companion,
Leaving behind hard-earned wealth and possessions,
Guest-like consciousness abandons its guesthouse, the body;
To give up concern for this life is the practice of the bodhisattvas.”
- the 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva. Verse 4.*
No matter what it is, no matter how much you want it, no matter how long you have it…you can’t take it with you.
