before the rogyapas
July 1st, 2006 by herichon
Your breath is now still
no warmth to your skin.
Do not be afraid.
Everyone before you has died.
You cannot stay
any more than a baby can stay forever in the womb.
Leave behind all you know,
all you love.
Leave behind pain and suffering.
This is what death is. – from a Tibetan jhator ceremony
