Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about the Buddha's Enlightening Motto
醒世箴言
Generally, when a person is close to death, he has three kinds of love / affiliations /attachments:
1. Affiliation to circumstances – attachment to our immediate environment( our family, relatives, home, fame, wealth, status, etc.)
2. Affiliation to our body – attachment to our body. We don’t understand the body is conditioned, formed by causal conditions and existent only for a period of time, Thus, we must leave it eventually.
一般人在臨命終時有三種愛，愛就是執著。
（一）境界愛——對環境的執著。所謂環境，就是我們的家，我們的親人，我們所住的地方，還有我們的名呀、利呀、地位呀，這些執著。
（二）自體愛——對自己身體的執著。不曉得這個身體也是假的、因緣和合的、一時擁有的、最後非離開不可的。
Namo Amituofo!
