I had been hearing so many people passed away recently.
All are like sudden death.
My friend's wife was walking around in her home when she fell down.
And just like that, she is gone.
My friend reached home at 12 midnight after work, then only found out that the wife fell down and died... No one was at home to help her, or rescue her.
Another friend's sister, she was pregnant, and had a loving husband.
Every morning they will brush teeth together, then the wife will change to working dress and sit at the living room sofa to wait for the husband to get ready and fetch her to work.
One fine morning, they as usual, brush teeth together, and then the wife sat on the sofa and waited for the husband....
And, she just gone like that ... no reason, no sickness.... pregnant 8 months.
The husband cried like mad.
I was telling my student about all these deaths.
I felt so down.
Then my student was trying to cheer me.
Asked me to write down my own bucket list too...
Not that I'm dying, but just write something for me to look forward to.

I was holding my pen, and thinking for so long...
What do I want to achieve in this life?
I suddenly realised that I've no desire, nothing for me to look for...
I've no more regret in life, and if I were to go now, I'm prepared.
I suddenly lost my reason of living.
To have big house in my life? That's not really what I wanted, and desire for.
Have lots of children and see them grown up?
No... No... No...
That doesn't bring any meaning to me.
Have lots of saving?
If I don't use the money, it's not mine too...
So, not also...
I really was thinking so hard, and so long...
Finally I wrote one line in my bucket list...
I wish I can be a nurse, and have the chance to take care of dying patient
That's all I wish...
What's your bucket list then?

waa teacher, so charitable...
teach and nurse ... i salute.
that's a very noble wish. You can always sign up in the nursing school. :D
my bucket list... mmm...
Erm, I'm like you, nothing to desire, nothing to look forward to... But I'm just trying to live my day happily, making others happy while trying to find the purpose in life... Just to hope that one day, I'll find mine....
Death is a certainty.
Unlike Bodhisattvas, we only have a pair of hands and other limited resources. I think you subtle impart of dhamma to your students is already very good.
Look forward to a little more charity whenever possible. You have a strong reason for living too ..... your loving Twilight. I think you have achieved far more than many of us cld dare to dream of. ^_^
Ouh...my God! I would have cried like mad too. =(
Wow! That is really noble.
I am not that noble I guess. I would used all my savings, borrow from bank, get a BMW 3 series hard top convertable, party like mad, live life to the fullest, go spa, resorts, paris, rome, then when i am dying, pass a wish to donate all my worldly belongings to charity. But at least I enjoy like king first b4 i die!!!
Really dont know what to say about death,just came back from business visit,a good friend told me her mom night on the spot from an accident just like week.
life is cool but sometimes it can be short,doestn matter when it ends,just live the day and make ourselves proud and our loved ones proud........
You must be a very kind person...But most important thing, enjoy your life!
yes tt's a very noble wish!
I got a lot of things I want to achieve before I am ready to say good bye to life... but if I had to put it down into a list, I think that will take away quite a fair bit of the excitement in it all....
p.s. I link u k!
yr friend's passing away, it is so tragic
wow..
Wow. So noble. But not to the extent of putting your happiness away for the sake of others. It's not worth it. Helping and giving is good. Just make sure you still have your share. My bucket list? Make God proud of me and live in worship unto Him. But not until the extent of celebacy. Lolx. God bless.
Our death is not an end if we can live on in our children and the younger generation.
For they are us, our bodies are only wilted leaves on the tree of life.
