Recently, I have been to many funerals, two of which were my friends' The first one, a big stomach guy, was dead because he bent down to look under the car in order to find some broken part. He suddenly collapsed and died instantly without anyone near by. The second one was the retired high rank officer who was preparing some notes for the lecture he was to give in the next few hours at a university. His head fell down on the table while he was working and passed away. Poor guys. I thought they both had some cardio-vascular problems.
Another guy, also one of my friend was lying on the bed in a hospital in Pathumtanee, and he would be like that until the end. He had the stroke, and the brain was treated by operation.
Mostly, the popular causes that make people sick or dead are cancers and accidents. Heart and blood vessel also become the real problem. However, we have to walk on the road directed to one end, heaven. The weaks walk shorter and get to heaven faster whereas the healthy people mostly walk longer. To be healthy, there are many factors concern. First one is luck. Lucky in health is not for everyone but they pray for it, just to lead the normal lives.
I always say that meditation is the way to make peace in mind. If mind is in peace, I hope that health will be in normal and the road to heaven is longer. If we want to be in peace, first of all, we have to practise how to make our minds to get away from hatred, anger, jealousy and sense of possessive. Giving and forgiveness are the effective criteria to kill that four bad feeling.
I always say to the people next to my routine life that, let think in positive ways, people may do things which would be harmful to us or make us bad in physical or mind, but if we try to understand him, he might not intend to do it. Something happen with some reason we don't know, look positively at him and we will be more happy that way.
I am not good in meditation but I read from the book, Luang Poo Cha, he said that for the people who still have some activities to do, meditation was not only sitting, closing eyes,and thinking of one object. While we are doing anything, we can set our mind meditated by making mind peaceful and thinking of what we are doing only.
Lord Buddha said that our bodies consisted of soil, water, air and fire. In our modern subject, soil represents substances and minerals, water means all fluid, air the gases which we breathe and fire is the metabolism which produce heat. Therefore, our bodies are not stable and will be able to change form. After death, our bodies go back to soil, water, air and fire. We don't own anything and we are no one.
See you around here, and don't get away to the heaven too fast. Read my blog and have a rest, before going exercise and having high fibre and nutritious food.
