… So it might be
more accurate to say …
“ I think (too much),
therefore I am (not there to live my life.) (ha) – Thich Nhat Hanh –
Not In A Stupa …
One of my disciples in Vietnam had a stupa-
a Buddhist shrine- built for my ashes. I told her that
I didn’t need a stupa for my ashes. I don’t want
to be stuck in a stupa. I want to be everywhere.
But she protested, “It’s already built!”
“In that case,” I said, “you’ll have to put an inscription on
the front, saying, ‘I am not in here.’” It’s true.
I won’t be there in the stupa. Even if the ashes are put in
there, they aren’t me. I won’t be in there. Why would
I want to be in there when outside is so beautiful?
“If I am to be found anywhere, it is in your
peaceful way of breathing and walking.” That is my
continuation. Even though we may never have met
in person, if, when you breath in, you find peace in
your breathing. I am there with you … (ha ah) – Thich Nhat Hanh –
