    May all of them attain the state of fully enlightened Buddha, altogether.
    Written by Omniscient Longchenpa.

    Of course, those who are nihilists have no belief in karma, virtue, or the Triple Gems; that is why they are nihilists. They
    think only about this momentary life and that it is not necessary to consider previous births or future reincarnations
    since they do not believe in them. According to Buddhist theory, however, until one attains the state of enlightenment,
    one must believe mind is continuous even though one does not see the minds continuity. Since mind is continuous,
    phenomena will be continuous, so the phenomena of suffering and happiness are continuous. Sometimes there are
    phenomena of suffering and sometimes there are phenomena of happiness, but either way, these phenomena must
    change. In order not to circle like this between suffering and happiness unceasingly, it is necessary to be liberated to
    reach unchangeable, flawless ecstasy; and in order to be liberated, one needs virtue or merit until the habits of dualistic
    mind are exhausted. So, one needs to believe in abstaining from negative karma and increasing positive karma and the
    accumulation of merit and wisdom. In order to make accumulation, first one needs to obtain a precious human birth
    with the seven qualities of the high realms of humans and gods:



    The noble lineage of human beings, a beautiful body, no sickness, long life, good fortune, wealth, great intelligence.
