What is happening to Nepal , the land of the universal masters? Is it karma of the people or a simple disaster dictated by the Greater Universe? Thousands of people die and many injured and for what reasons ? Natural disaster.
This land is so close to heaven and yet it is not spared the disaster . Is it fated ? There are many questions unanswered despite this is the land where there is so many universal masters or semi-gods. Yeah, maybe , Buddhism is not a religion but a way of life. There is no life without death and this is the way of life, old age, sickness and death. Everybody have to die even if you are closest to heaven or nirvana.
We have the great leaders who have achieved enlightenment and also have to die in the end , so what about the ordinary people. They cannot avoid the basic rule of life and death.
Yes, everything is so real and our fate is unavoidable and pre-destined in a certain way. We can live our life as normal as possible but in the end, it is our fate that counts.
We have heard about people falling into ravine in Nepal or during their tracking in Mount Everest. There was an artilce that even over 100 trackers were frozen to death during the recent avalanche in Mount Everest. These people know that danger there but they live to experince the danger and in admiring the beauty of the place closest to heaven or nirvana.
Many years ago, I have a friend who went to Nepal at 53 years old , but he passed away during his sleep. He was a very good friend of mine during the school days. It is about 10 years ago now. Well, he knows that the thin air there but he still want to go there without realizing the impact of the thin air on him. What a way to go among the snow and the freezing coldness closed to heaven.
Nevertheless, there is nothing in life but a journey and at the end of the day, we still have to meet our Maker , no matter who are they . Jesus , Buddha , Prophet , Lao Tzu, Goddess of Mercy , whoever is our Maker. Halleluyah, namaste, amitabha , Allah .. does it really matter.
Namaste.
