Graceful Exits; a recommendation

[Shokai]

Youse guys are startin' to sound like "A Week-end at Bernie's"
That last koan should be sub-titled Schrodinger's Cat.

my Embalming Professor always said he wanted to die at age 90 from gunshot wounds inflicted by a jealous husband.

i am always amused to see a death notice that reads; "Died suddenly at age 90+" (OMG, it took him 90 years!!)

btw, that wasn't the Rinpoche's Astral Body, it was his pacemaker

( 悪いけど～ Mara made me do it!!

I don't have that watch, but I'm wearing it.

A lot of Buddhist Ancestors' heroic deaths have been polished up, or made up, in the process of writing their legend after they died.

Me? I will probably die asking if anyone got the license plate number of that bus, or begging the doctor for more morphine.

I better write the "death poem" in advance, just in case, so it is handy when my disciples start to write my legend.

I guess I'm not a disciple , but I do respect you and appreciate you being on this planet very much. so.. can I write your legend? pleeeease? That would be a blast.
