A sincere prayer

 I feel saddened not being able to attend uncle wongs wake and send him off on his final departure.There are health issues and too many elderly relatives so tonite i did an evening puja at my altar to send merits for him.idam me nattinam hontu,sukitahontu natayo.

Calmness stabilised my emotions as i listened to faye wongs rendition of the heart sutra and imee oois chant of metta.

Vijju bubbula ussava

Jalaraji Parukkhayam

Ghatakova ripu tassa

Sabbatthapi avariya

This life comes to an end like a streak of lightning

A bubble of water

A dew drop on a leaf

Or a line drawn on water

Like an enemy intent on killing

Death can never be avoided.
