TONIGHT I MAY DIE
"As you lie down to go to sleep, think to yourself: tonight I may die. This may be it. I may never wake up again.
Forgive those you need to forgive.
Forget everything that should be forgotten.
Bring to mind anything that calms and relaxes you - it could be a falling leaf or a quacking duck.
More importantly, make the wish that you and every other sentient being will have and experience all that is good. In fact, if you can focus on caring for others more than yourself, not only will it bring you great joy, it will simultaneously ensure that you yourself are well looked after.
As you fall asleep, your awareness of your body — what your eyes see, what your nose smells, what your tongue tastes, and so on - will be detached by sleep.
When you next wake up, imagine you have been reborn and that a new life has just begun.
Observe how you reconnect with your senses and sense objects.
Notice the song of the blackbird, smell your stale morning breath, taste your night-time mouth taste. Think to yourself:
The world I have awoken into will not last forever.
Look at your new table and that packet of exquisite, unopened Japanese stationery. Use them both and appreciate them now - it may be your last chance."
From: "Living Is Dying: How to Prepare for Dying, Death and Beyond"

"Those who are attached to various desires, such as fields, properties, golds, cattle and horses, servants, lovers and relatives, are defeated by worldly desires and overwhelmed by afflictions. It is as if water were intruding into a shipwreck. Therefore, one should keep one's thoughts right and avoid various desires."- Buddha (Sutta Nipata 766-771)
