Death

  • The Buddha said of death:

    Life is a journey.
    Death is a return to earth.
    The universe is like an inn.
    The passing years are like dust.
    Regard this phantom world
    As a star at dawn, a bubble in a stream,
    A flash of lightning in a summer cloud,
    A flickering lamp - a phantom - and a dream.

    Rev. Thomas J. Polis Yes. Life is a journey. Death is like a crossroad. One journey ends and then another begins.
