Question asked by Eli Levine
Good evening Pastors,
I'm having difficulty conjuring up the will to keep going or take care of my physical body. I'm constantly tired and an generally unwilling or unable to put helpful advice into practice. I would like to take better care of myself, have more energy, and generally be more willing to take good advice/medicine when it is offered.
Your last piece of wisdom was very helpful to me as well. Thank you for everything that you all do.
Dear Eli Levine,
There are two methods we can engage in for this situation. The first is an intellectual study of the Optimum Human Rebirth and then meditative contemplation on this. This can be studied from Lam Rim texts such as Liberation in the Palm of Your Hand.
The second method we can employ is meditation on death. Once you contemplate this carefully, you will develop a strong motivation to make the most of this life by practicing the Dharma and taking care of oneself.
