“Let us consider living one’s whole life only for one’s desires.... People who all their lives have been pursuing nothing but money, position, reputation, enjoyment, or whatever become totally obsessed by that final illness called death to the extent that they lose the energy to pursue any more desires…. The more things one has pursued and gained during such a life, the greater will be the shock of having to let everything go when death does come.
“The fact is, everyone, as they are right now, is complete.
“This dharma of knowing when one has enough is precisely where you will find the greatest wealth, happiness, and peace of mind.”
