Not knowing death, how can one know life?

In fact, upon careful reflection on death, one will understand that life and death are one and the same.
Where there is life, there must be death; where there is death, there must be life.
Life is the beginning of death; death is the end of life.
【In this world, there is no self; life and death are intertwined.】
Death will teach you that true understanding comes from life.
Life will teach you that what is truly unavoidable is not death, but impermanence.
Impermanence is the only truth.
