I would like to come back to Al's profound question. The thread he started is getting long and branching out. Can you simply say 'this is it?' How do you react to pain? A famous zen master Daisetsu Suzuki went through a lot of suffering in his last days. I am scared to think about that. If he cannot avoid suffering, how can I? How about you all? Are you sure you will leave this world peacefully? Regards, Anthony

Are you willing to die sitting on a cushion just saying "this is it?" No Heaven for you? No Nirvana? No nothing? Just worms?? New Email names for you!
