Death like changing house

For him, all that matters is that everybody says he is the first reincarnation of Akong, and that means he must have the same qualities. ‘Then I have to serve the best that I can for the benefit of people whenever I can. I’m not here to investigate the first Akong.’ Nor does he give any thought to who his successor will be: ‘That is up to the others.’ All he is interested in doing is ‘to try to develop loving kindness and compassion as much as possible, and try to meditate as much as you can’. That way, death will not be suffering but like ‘trying to change house’.
