Life - the series (part 1).......... Today I died (2)

A year ago in the month of May (May 2007), i sat down by a bookshelf at Nirvana Memorial Centre and i came across a little book entitled Life. I didn't really read the entire thing but rather just glance through to pass my time.
I can't really remember the full content but if i would ever be going there again, i would kindly get a copy of that booklet and share it here.

The author (a Buddhist) did talk about why suffering was a need in life as he later grew. As for the ending, well, i would say it had a more impacting one compared to other books. The author wrote about the day he died (not because he didn't want to continue living but through natural cause).

It sounds something like this:-

If you read this please read it out to everyone present here at my funeral.

Hi everyone. Today, I died. Be happy for me because i have left the sufferings of the world. When I was born I cried. I cried because I was born to endure life,its suffering and finally die.......................... (his words of appreciation)

I came across the above when i was at my late aunt's wake. She left behind her husband and two very young and loving children (aged 7 and 2) as well as all her family members, relatives, and friends. It was saddening as she departed quite unexpectedly. The author inspired me to prepare this little farewell note a head as i think it would serve as great source of comfort for those whom we leave behind. I think it would be in fact be a suprise even for our loved ones. Maybe one fine day i shall also do that, well not to be a show off but we never know when our time here is up.
