Even a King can die ....

Even A King can die...

The passing of the Thai King at 88 after 70 years of rule ratters the region as he was a symbol of stability for Thailand . Yes, lately, he struggled against bad health and sickness and was medically propped  up and kept alive .

How great a person in his life have to face death. It is inevitable and inescapable and everyone have to face death one day even as this age of advanced medicine . More so in the land of Buddhism as the Buddhist believed the theory of birth , age , sickness and death.  The late King has illustrated this belief and the teaching of the Buddha. 

As he is like a father to all the Thailand people and have ensure peace during his rule , there must be a lot of merits for his case in Buddhism. He will have good karma for himself. 

His death illustrate the fragility of life ,impermanence and uncertainties in life . As a good man he should live until a 100 and illustrate a example of doing a lot of good.  Buddha also die at his early eighties , Sai Baba also die at 84 and many great people die early .  So, this illustrate that life is uncertain and only death is certain. In simple words, we would not know when we will die and death is certainly the end for everyone.

So, live on well and not just live for the sake of living .

Namaste.
