Shed no tears...God bless Dad... He is fine

Dad.. though it pains to see you go, I want to let sis Chin know that it's time to let go as Dad is fine...

According to this site: UrbanDharma.org


"In the teaching of the Buddha, all of us will pass away eventually as a part in the natural process of birth, old-age and death and that we should always keep in mind the impermanence of life. The life that we all cherish and wish to hold on.
To Buddhism, however, death is not the end of life, it is merely the end of the body we inhabit in this life, but our spirit will still remain and seek out through the need of attachment, attachment to a new body and new life. Where they will be born is a result of the past and the accumulation of positive and negative action, and the resultant karma (cause and effect) is a result of ones past actions.This would lead to the person to be reborn in one of 6 realms which are; heaven, human beings, Asura, hungry ghost, animal and hell."


Father has been doing good all his life. I remember him as teaching all his children this value which I still hold. We must always do good to others although others may not return the goodness back to you. He has helped people in trouble and although he has lived through poverty, Dad has never complained. His spirit and determination remains strong.

In my heart, I know Dad is fine... like in my dream of a mansion facing the sea. I am sure he is reborn to somebody great...who continues to embrace knowledge. Dad may not be rich in worldly possessions but there is always wisdom in him which others look up to.

Your loving daughter, ANG
