What my mom will be doing 20 years from now.

My mom died almost a month ago she wasn't one of the blond dancers in the video but she could have been. As Buddhist we believe in reincarnation she will be dancing again in a new life but she'll try to save the planet at the same time.



For one who summons up one’s faith and chants Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with the profound insight that now is the last moment of one’s life, the sutra proclaims: “When the lives of these persons come to an end, they will be received into the hands of a thousand Buddhas, who will free them from all fear and keep them from falling into the evil paths of existence.”5 How can we possibly hold back our tears at the inexpressible joy of p.217knowing that not just one or two, not just one hundred or two hundred, but as many as a thousand Buddhas will come to greet us with open arms!
