Living and dying are, in a sense, of equal value."--Nimit in "Thailand”

Spoken advice, transcribed teachings,
Yet if you do not practice, at the time of death, books don’t help.

Her heartbeat slowed and something let go. She rose above her apartment into the night. Death was nothing more than the separation of the body from the mind. Joy transported her and she embraced the white moonlight.”
