3bob Posted August 14, 2010 "GIVEN TO THE DYING' "This body is not me; I am not caught in this body, I am life without boundaries, I have never been born and I have never died. Over there the wide ocean and the sky with many galaxies All manifests from the basis of consciousness. Since beginningless time I have always been free. Birth and death are only a door through which we go in and out. Birth and death are only a game of hide-and-seek. So smile to me and take my hand and wave good-bye. Tomorrow we shall meet again or even before. We shall always be meeting again at the true source, Always meeting again on the myriad paths of life" ~Thich Nhat Hanh, No Death, No Fear (taken from the Anguttura Nikaya sutra) (also quoted for the living, 3bob) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted August 14, 2010 (edited) You know, that is actually beautiful. Chuang Tzu said something similar to it. It really is a wonderful way of viewing the concept of death. I have my little problems with some of it but these are not Taoist related so I will not speak to them. Thanks for sharing that. Peace & Love!
