Quote by Tendzin Gyaco
English (Source)
There is no escape from death. Trying to do this would be like escaping from the embrace of four giant mountains reaching up to the sky. There is no escape from the valley of the four mountains. The mountain of birth, disease, old age and death holds every living being captive. When old age comes, youth fades away, when sickness appears, health comes to nothing. And when, due to lack of health, life turns into misery, all values, excellence of character, and previously shining abilities disappear from it. In the end, death wins a complete victory over life. Even if you are fast and exceptionally skilled, you will not run away from death. And you won't stop him with your wealth, magic tricks, or even the best medicines. Therefore, the best and wisest thing is to prepare for your death now.
