[FairfieldLife] LB's Burial
Dear friends and family of LB, LB was buried at the Pattison Cemetary in Cedar township of Jefferson County yesterday afternoon at 6:30pm. It was a very amazing experience. It had been raining, often torrentially all day. For the hour of his burial, the rain stopped, the sun poked through and we were able to lay his body to rest in the heart of the Iowa countryside in this beautiful peaceful cemetery that he had picked out for his final resting place in February of this year. Pattison has been used since settlement days so this small graveyard is peopled with pioneers and old Fairfield families. LB's body is in 'good company'. A few of the many friends/caregivers were able to come and bear his body on a hand made bier to the grave. LB was dressed in his Tai Chi ghi and his shroud was handmade of Chinese fabric. A few of his favorite books, some precious personal objects and prayer beads were buried with him, too. He looked very royal. Verses from the sacred Bhagavad Gita were read, wooden flute and drums were played, people spoke tender words of parting. We all took turns putting a shovel of dirt on his body and threw flowers over his form before the grave was closed. More flowers were put on the top of the grave and a pine tree will be planted there per LB's wish, instead of a grave marker of stone. Those present all felt a blessed sense of closure, release and peace that we were able to fulfill our dear friend's wishes so fully. As we finished, the inky black clouds gathered again and within a few minutes of returning to our cars, the heavens opened up again as the torrent continued. For me it is a comforting thought that his body is there in the heart of Mother Earth, and grave embraced and gently rinsed by her comforting, welcoming tears. Love and all Blessings, Jennifer

Re: [FairfieldLife] LB's Burial now re his Guru Dev writings?
Very nice report from Jennifer my thanks Bill Led Did L. B ever have such writings of Guru Dev printed in an Indian news paper? 2 did he make some arrangements for them to be published? I enjoy the names of 8 of us who invested in such works by him that is to cause these works to be published in English. It was many of ours understanding that the translations were complete certainly he so stated to may of us in 2008 Sept Oct that Year. Non of us have as investors seen any hard evidence of such. aside from my self were are still widowed ladies perhaps some they speculate they were taken in for L. B. present need for money to live on?? That is speculation of 3 of the known 12 persons. I have reserved judgement they have as well. But we note when back in town he avoided us refused to talk on the book status except to state soon in 2009 , 10 11. If a scamer he certainly became good at it it.He gave lectiures to raise funding 4 the book publication ofter took in several hundred dollars at a crack. I at the time as were many others most peased to so assist him in this endevor. Now all of us wonder re such. The publication or the works if found I will publish as a most fitting memory or memorial tribute to his great life.
