Thag 1.20. Ajita - I do not fear death; nor do I long for life. I’ll lay down this body, aware and mindful.

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.
My thanks.

All the world is on fire, All the world is burning, All the world is ablaze, All the world is quaking. That which does not quake or blaze, That to which worldlings do not resort, Where there is no place for Mara:That is where my mind delights. (SN 5.7)
By degrees, little by little,
from moment to moment,
the wise purify themselves,
as a smith purifies silver.
—Dhammapada 239

So sad to hear.
Re: In rememberance of jcsuperstar
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.

Re: In rememberance of jcsuperstar
To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to cleanse one's mind — this is the teaching of the Buddhas.

Hope his family is doing okay.
Re: In rememberance of jcsuperstar
Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.
