Short Story: The death of a Zen master

Tweet

The great Zen master, Alex Coshlo, was on his death-bed. His students asked him if he had any final words to say to them. Now, Coshlo was also a renowned poetry writer. He said to his students then, "Write this on my grave" Death's Journey into love No one dies alone Everyone travels love's way Don't die not yourself. "What did you mean there?", one of his students asked him. The master took one last deep breath, sighed, and died. Coshlo was telling them then that life lives in us all until we die, but in the end, life does not die with death, but keeps going on its own journey, both with and without us. Nothing really ever dies to life. Love ensures us of that. Be yourself, love. Photo Credit: The photo used here was freely sourced from the free media site: pixabay.com We are never alone to love.
