The Weishi chao (Commentary on Vijñaptimātratā) says: The mind at the end of life gives rise to four kinds of craving, which are the root for all sentient beings, good and bad, to receive a body: First, regarding one's own body, giving rise to craving for present existence; second, regarding present kin, giving rise to craving accompanied by greed and delight; third, regarding present lands, dwellings, and livelihoods, giving rise to craving for various pleasures; fourth, regarding future birth, giving rise to craving for future existence. Among these four cravings, the first three aid the moistening of birth, and the last one directly moistens birth, meaning it arises directed toward the place of future birth; it is also called the mind of receiving birth. In this mental state, if one obtains someone skillful to encourage and stimulate them, hearing the name of the Buddha and the sound of the chime, causing them to focus exclusively on the noble realm—because it is without distortion, they will certainly follow their aspiration to be reborn in a wholesome destiny.
