This Mt Fuji photo was sent to me by a friend from China.Today, Thursday 17th May 2007 is my dad 49th day of passing. Time passes really fast but it was not easy to pass by these 49 days. Many questions popped up my mind and I did some sort of soul searching during these 49 days. Questions like why we exist in this world, what is the purpose of we come to this world and where is one goes to after death. Is there any truth in Kamma. If someone up there so powerful, why there are still sufferings in this world. Why can't someone out there use his power to make the world no suffering at all and make the world a peaceful and happy place to live at.
I search the Web for answers to these questions but still not satisfied or convinced. Maybe we are so used to this 'material world' where we can touch and see with our own senses. Something must be tangible or scientifically proven in order to convince us to accept an answer. So, really, there is no definite answers to those questions that satisfied / convinced me.
The answer about Kamma is the one which I am more convinced at, though not fully. I need more time to find out more truth about it. From the look at it (see my posting 'What is Kamma' dated April 29, 2007), the nature Law of Kamma sound simple. Someone even opined that it is 'common sense', everyone knows about it. My question is, if the law is so simple and of common sense, why there are still so many crimes and wrong doing happening in our society?
Kamma is more acceptable to me simply because it put responsibility on ourselves. That is, whatever happened to us, it was due to our own action. You can simply explain it by a chinese proverb ' Goat's fur come from goat's skin' 羊毛出在羊身上. In a way, whatever we want to achieve in life, do it with a sincere manner with no evil motive behind. You agree with me in this?
Well, I believe I can't do much now for my father, since he is gone, but I believe good deed done in his name will help him to have a better next life. A prayer was held on this 49th day of his passing, sincerely hope that the prayer will benefit my father in whatever way. But, it is still depend on my dad's own Kamma, which I believe, should be a good one.
