It is not enough to have just obtained this human form. You must at
once practice the authentic Buddhist path since the time of your death is
unpredictable. Furthermore, at death you should have no regrets and
should not be ashamed of yourself, like Jetsun Milarepa:

In my, Milarepa’s, religious tradition,
We live so as not to be ashamed of ourselves.
