Peace to the Dead ...

Recommended Posts

Not really a topic to discuss here but cannot really hold back. I just want to take a moment to pray for the lost lives in the Terrorist attack on Mumbai where more than 200 people have died and nearly 300 injured. Taj, an Indian landmark, has been destroyed nearly. People from India, America, Australia, Canada, Japan, Israel, France and several other countries have lost lives. My childhood friend, his wife and two daughters are among the ones killed.

 

I hope we see a better day after this gruesome night.

 

Peace to all ...

In the face of cruelty and insanity, we must be reminded not to become what we hate. The only sane response is to show kindness and help others. All actions cause ripples.

SV,

 

My condolences on your loss. This is a very difficult time in India, let's hope that they will get to the bottom of this thing. This little Upanishadic prayer asks that everyone everywhere be at peace and happy.

 

Sarve bhavantu Sukhinaha

Sarve santu Niramaya

Sarve Bhadrani Pashayantu

Ma kaschit dukha bhag bhavet

Hardcore Muslims intend to take over the world, and they intend to do it by force. It requires drawing a line in the sand and using force to try to halt it.

 

I'm sorry about your friend and his family, SV.

 

I think a discussion about it can fit on this forum because Taoist are anti-fundamentalists, or at least I am, and I'm Taoist.

Thank you all!!

 

The case of the Jewish Rabbi and his wife was particularly heart wrenching. They were killed and their son who turns two today was rescued. What a birthday gift....becoming an orphan ...
