so
live your life that the fear of death
can never enter your heart
trouble no one for their religion
respect others in their view
and demand that they respect yours too
love your life perfect your life
beautify all things in your life
seek to make your life long and its
purpose
in the service of your people
prepare a noble death song
for the day when you pass over the great
divide
always give a word or a sign of salute
when meeting or passing a friend
even a stranger when in a lonely
place
show respect to all people and grovel to
none
when you arise in the morning give
thanks for
food and the joy of living
if you see no reason to give thanks
the blame lies only on yourself
abuse no one and no thing
for abuse turns the wise into fools
and robs the spirit of its vision
it comes your time to die
be not like those whose hearts are
filled with the fear of death
so that when their time comes
they weep and pray for a little more
time to live their lives over again
in a different way
sing your death song
and die like a hero going home
you
