Do not put me in a small plot and put me in there! I don't want to continue like that. It would be better to scatter the ashes outside to help the trees to grow. This body of mine will disintegrate, but my actions will continue me...in every moment. If you think that I am only this body, then you have not truly seen me. When you look at my friends, you see my continuation. When you see someone walking with
mindfulness and compassion, you know he is my continuation. I don't see why we have to say, "I will die," because I can already see myself in you, in other people, and in future generations. Even when the cloud is
not there, it continues as snow, ice or rain. It is impossible for a cloud
to die... it cannot become nothing ...There is no beginning and no end.
I will never die. I will continue, always.
