Funeral Banquet

Once a Master was asked what kind of funeral he wanted for himself.He replied,"Leave my body in a desert place and do not bother to dig a grave, so earth and sky will be my coffin, the moon and stars my funeral lamps and all creation the funeral flower".

"We'd rather cremate your body", said the disciples.

"That would be too much trouble", said the Master,"and why deprive the kites and ants of a funeral banquet?"

-Anthony de Mello, S.J
