Upon my death, I'm confident that on my marker I shall have something like this quote (I don't know who said it, but I'm sure they are very wise):
"when we finally know we are dying, and all other sentient beings are dying with us, we start to have a burning, almost heartbreaking sense of the fragility and preciousness of each moment and each being, and from this can grow a deep, clear, limitless compassion for all beings."
Yes, it will have to be a large marker because it will also have to contain the next line
"or something like that, I forget just what exactly, oh well, whatever, blah blah blah."
Seldom.
