Death makes Orphans of us All - 20sep21

Writer: Lama Jigme GyatsoLama Jigme Gyatso


I’ve never actually had anything

that lasted forever.


None of my clinging

could ever stop

any circumstance, or person, or emotion, or thought;

from passing, or morphing, or changing, or leaving.


Ask Anakin,

he’ll tell you,

eventually death

makes orphans of us all.


Leave it to the Buddha however,

to transform this painful reality

into a tool, a contemplation,


whose use

could help us to,

at long last,

let go.

Let us conclude

with a simple

call to action


In the Tibetan tradition Lamas are supported

not by monasteries but by students

as such the production of these livestreams,

blogs, and class materials is supported

by the generosity of viewers, and listeners, and readers

just like you.
