The true nature of all things is not to be born, not to die, not to arrive and not to depart, but that of no coming and no going.
There're times when conditions are sufficient for manifest, other times I hide.
Sometimes when our loved one passed away, we may not be able to overcome our loss. But look deeply and you may be able to see that your loved one is not born and does not die, does not come, and does not go.
We thought the person no longer exists after they "pass away" because we're attached to one of the forms of that person. Thus we suffer and feel sad when that form is gone.
Our beloved is not lost. The cloud is manifesting in a different form just like our beloved. With this understanding, we suffer less.
~Thich Nhat Hanh
