In memory
Tonight, my neighbor Dave and I checked on an absent elderly neighbor who we discovered, with the help of the EMS, died in his house a couple of days ago. He was a rather eccentric but likeable death camp survivor with no known relatives. He died alone and awaits the potential fate of an anonymous burial. The only religious liturgy he had was the Buddhist prayers I chanted alone at his bedside before escorted for the coroner.
May all beings have happiness and the causes of happiness,
May all be free from sorrow and the causes of sorrow;
May all being never be separated from the sacred happiness, which is sorrowless.
