Using the traditional Tibetan Buddhist framework of the Four Reminders–the preciousness of human birth, the truth of impermanence, the reality of suffering, and the inescapability of karma–Khandro Rinpoche explains why and how we could all better use this short life to pursue a spiritual path and make the world a better place. She says, “Think of all the time you’ve wasted hesitating or feeling distracted, or expending useless energy feeling jealous or angry, or being selfish. At the time of death, you’ll look back and it will all seem like a dream.”
