A group of students of a Tibetan Buddhist Lama were walking through a forest with their teacher.
They came upon the body of a young man. The students looked the man over, looking for marks, blood, any of the usual indicators to explain why a person might die.
They found nothing. Puzzled they asked their teacher:
“Why did this young man die?”
The wise Lama said: “Because he was born.”
May this simple thought and perspective ease your pain.
