My friend

January 28, 2014

My best friend who was like a dearest sister to me, passed a way 6 days ago. She died of breast cancer – the silent killer. She found out she had cancer last year. She's such a tough woman, never feared death. I met her at the monastery when I went to study Buddhism. I was around 18 or 19 years old. We became so close since then. Both of us have been traveling to so many places together with our great masters. It was not a shocking death like my little sister. I miss her very much. During these past two months, I lost three loved ones. I'm not sad, stressed or depressed because I keep each and every one of them very close to my heart, much closer than ever, but I do not know how to cry like most human. My best friend and I, never had room for hate in our hearts. Our masters trained us to pray for loving kindness and compassion for our so-called enemies every day, especially for those who hurt us the most in our lives. Both, she and I went through so much together during this lifetime. My best friend yelled at me more than my mother, especially when I felt lazy. Her death reminds me every moment to get up and spread my loving kindness and compassion to all sentient beings, including our so-called enemies…

    Jendhamuni your a Starchild you brought into this world to make change you cannot make the change without the experience. And I know that you can cry it shows in your post the roses are for the ones you lost your tears are the raindrops. I'm sorry for the loss of your friend I know how painful that is. Each of us express loss in different ways yours was with love and compassion and mine was with anger and hate. Remember the good things start child and let the rest go. knowing you has brought happiness back into my life.

Live & Die for Buddhism

My Reflection

This site is a tribute to Buddhism. Buddhism has given me a tremendous inspiration to be who and where I am today. Although I came to America at a very young age, however, I never once forget who I am and where I came from. One thing I know for sure is I was born as a Buddhist, live as a Buddhist and will leave this earth as a Buddhist. I do not believe in superstition. I only believe in karma.

Tipitaka: The pali canon (Readings in Theravada Buddhism). A vast body of literature in English translation the texts add up to several thousand printed pages. Most -- but not all -- of the Canon has already been published in English over the years. Although only a small fraction of these texts are available here at Access to Insight, this collection can nonetheless be a very good place to start.
