Therefore we should be very careful in the way we deal with patients on the verge of death. People mistakenly equate the cessation of pulse and breathing with death, and treat the body as a corpse, thereby causing the patient even greater suffering. Suffering gives rise to anger and hatred, and this leads the soul onto the path to hell.
世人誤認病人的呼吸脈搏停止，即是死亡，即當作死屍看待，致使病人受更大痛苦，因痛苦而心生瞋恨，因瞋恨心而使神識墮入惡趣之中。
