He passed away after suffering a stroke and a heart attack at 64, abit too young to die. His friends were shocked because he was fit and in high spirit. Some one switch off the light in him from above. When I was a young man, he was a very popular actor as he was tall and handsome. Some kind of a white knight with a lot of beautiful dames around him. He was envy by many young men.
Talking about life and death, everything is so uncertain and anything can happen anytime. Alan's death reminds me of two friend who died playing active sports. Both died at 49. One of them died during a hockey competition in Alor Star and another friend died after a badminton game while resting during the break. There is a Chinese saying " when the King of Hades want you to die at 3am , how can you wait until 5am". This means that the time of death of each person is pre-destined. How hard you struggle , you still have to go.
In Buddhism, Death is the beginning of a new life. When there is life , there is death ,both takes turn in d\the cycle of life. The law of Karma supports the death and re-birth religious concept in Buddhism. If we gather more merits, this merits will be brought to the next life and if sufficient merits are accumulated, your life would go up a higher realm until you finally go out of the realm upon receiving enlightenment. In Buddhism, if you plant charitable seeds, you will get charitable fruits. So , always do good deeds and you will have good karma.
Everything is impermanent and forever changing, Like Buddha said " when we are born , we bring nothing with us and after our death, we also bring nothing with us. So, what we have is the present and live in the [present. The past is gone , the future yet to come and you only have the present. To all folks. don't hang on too tight, we must learn to let go and when the time comes, we are ready to let go.
Namaste
