It Was A Good Death


It was a good death. Bill was slaughtered this morning and in the Christian and Buddhist traditions we have decided to eulogize him by offering prayers for the sustenance he will provide our people.


Bless us, O Lord,
and these Thy gifts,
which we are about to receive
from Thy bounty,
through Christ our Lord.
Amen.


This food is the gift of the whole universe -
the earth, the sky, and much hard work.
May we live in a way that makes us worthy to receive it.
May we transform our unskillful states of mind,
especially our greed.
May we take only foods that nourish us
and prevent illness.
We accept this food so that we may realise the path of practice.

-Thich Nhat Hanh

GO CHARGERS!!!!!!
