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. ― Thích Nhất Hạnh, No Death, No Fear Such wise, moving and deep words - from a man whose work has influenced me deeply. He has always had an amazing way of putting words to my experience - in a way that has also freed my mind and opened my heart to deeper depths and vaster horizons - with a simplicity that only comes from experience. At 88 he has had a few months of extended illness and yesterday suffered a severe brain hemorrhage - and his life (on this plane) hangs in the balance. Here is the official announcement for those who would like to find out more - sending prayers to you Thay - you are deeply loved for all the peace and wisdom you have brought to the planet.
