Life is impermanent, be prepared

In this talk, Gelek Rimpoche reacts to the death of singer Whitney Houston. He points out the fragility of our life and asks what we can we do if we only have six months to live. Reincarnation is a distinct possibility by looking at twins who bring their habitual patterns with them from a previous life. The task ahead then, says Rimpoche, is to minimize our negative addictions and instill as much positivity in our life as possible by using meditation as a tool. In the final Q and A, Rimpoche urges us to use any fear of death to get prepared, so that when death comes we can be confident and ready, without hesitation.
