we woke up early to place grandma in her new home.
I like the serenity of the temple grounds,
and I took home 2 books on distribution.
tales of life before Buddha - a collection of short stories that teaches morals and life's lessons.
and Buddhism for beginners.
I mean for ages now, I've been religious.
but for every prayer made, how deeply do one understand the meaning behind it,
and it's origins?
as I picked a piece of grandma's bone and lay it gently into the urn,
i can't help but reconcile with the teaching that,
we really do end up as a pile of white bones, no matter e beauty nor affluence.
.
maybe this morning turn of event brought me some peace,
I needed to know what can the living do while we mourn our loss.
I just needed to know how to heal.
because when you know, you'll heal.
and you can then help others heal.
right now, my papa must be really disappointed w the people in his life.
and we are all thirsty for a positive change.
treat the parents to canton-I,
before bringing daddy on retail therapy.
taka. robinsons.
and daddy brought home w him
2 polo, 2 shirts and a pair of shoes.
but I know all these bring little joy to him.
he is just so exhausted.
it doesn feel the void,
but at least, it gave him a reminder,
that life has to go on ,
and all these new stuff are essentials to a new year at work.
why do people still don't get it.
原谅是最大的慈悲。
and a happy family is what we should always strive for, no?
[ don't ask why r u unhappy,
just ask yourself,
what have you done.]
