I started writing in before I put up a title as I don't know what is the best title for this post. This week is a wonderful week as SL have official complete a year at Qatar, although is nothing to shout about and another friend is leaving Qatar and we are doing a farewell for him. It is also the day I should remember my MOM for giving me a life. At time I felt I am neglecting my parents by coming to Qatar and not accompany them. I had done wrong to them and many mistake. Well what done is done and I can only looking forward to correct myself to be a better person.... I will keep remind myself to keep the 5 precepts.
Well I suppose to be happy with all the above but I wasn't as 2 days ago I was told by a friend that one of my buddy had cancer and is currently on stage 3. When I heard it, I almost broke apart and in denial as he is one talented good man. Everyone is so surprise so as him as it was too sudden and few weeks back he was all fine as my friend had met him.
As a Buddhist practitioner I should have not feel sorrow (attachment) and embrace the challenge with him and should focus on make him strong and cheerful. I guess it is hard when we are emotionally attach and do not understand death and rebirth deep enough and death is always a taboo to talk about.Friends and family around him shouldn't add mental suffering on top of his physical suffering. I can't do much for him while I am here but I can only pray for his healing and may Lord Buddha have mercy on him. As I do admit I am far from being enlightened and still have attachment but I will try to do my best.
