Learned to endure pain and suffering
Overcome the Fear of Death“Meditation on Inevitable Death should be performed daily. Everyday when one’s mind & body are at peace, one should meditate upon being ripped apart by arrows, rifles, spears and swords, being carried away by surging waves, being thrown into the midst of a great fire, being struck by lightening, being shaken to death by a great earthquake, falling from thousand foot cliffs, dying of disease or committing suicide at the death of one’s master.”
