Let go of hope and fear….
If it is better for me to be ill, give me the energy to be ill.
If is better for me to recover, give me the energy to recover.
If it is better for me to die, give me the energy to die.
— Jamgön Kongtrül

4. Everyone and everything that I love will change, and I will be separated from them.
5. My only true possessions are my actions, and I cannot escape their consequences.
