Mindful of Death, Oriented by Kamma

Luang Por Damrong

Luang Por Damrong reflects on the life of the Buddha, and relates how the Buddha remembered his previous births, which arose according to his past kamma. Keeping in mind our own mortality and the Buddha’s teaching out of compassion, he exhorts us to pracice with diligence, developing virtue and making an effort to be free from the cycle of birth and death.
