Several years ago when a Zen student was killed at the age of 22 in San Francisco, Dainin Katagiri, a teacher at the center attended by the young man, reminded his mourning friends: "“Human beings have an idea they are fond of—that we die in old age. That’s just an idea. We don’t know when our death will come. Chris’s death has come now.” Today, bring to your mind the truth that old age is not a guarantee and try to live wisely. Dainin Katagiri himself died at the relative young age of 62.
The point: make each day and every phase of your life as meaningful as possible. Don't wait, don't delay, don't hold off.
