Dhamma Wheel Buddhist Forum

I think when his sudden passing was announced, jc gifted onto us a certain 'gift of death', a reminder of what we Buddhists aspire to Awaken to but so easily forget.

My thanks.

jc was a good guy and is missed.

So sad to hear.

Hello JC,

I just learned the "news". No matter where you are now, I pray that you continue your Dhamma practice as instructed by the Buddha:

"Monks, be islands (lights) unto yourselves,be your own refuge, having no other; let the Dhamma be an island (light) and a refuge to you, having no other." (SN22.43)

"... For those who — now or after I am gone — remain with their self as an island, their self as their refuge, without anything else as a refuge, with the Dhamma as an island, the Dhamma as their refuge, without anything else as a refuge, they will be the highest of the monks who desire training." (SN 47.13)

Still remembering. Still as raw now as when we first heard.

Today would be his birthday. May you be well and in the company of the dhamma, wherever you are.

Hope his family is doing okay.
