I don't know what else do we do? What else do we do? So that's what I'm going to do. Just a little explanation in in, in Zen and Buddhism more broadly, the memorial prayer is done, as a way of addressing the deceased, according to the Tibetan Book of the Dead, and other old texts about death and dying, the sense of hearing is the last thing to go after death. And so there is there is a very real sense I believe this there are all kinds of accounts of people having perceived things that people who were momentarily dead and came back to life of having heard things, this is impossible that seems. So, the moment in the memorial prayer, we're addressing the deceased directly. But if that's too much for anyone to believe in, maybe it's a little easier to believe in the way in which an immortal sort of the memorial prayer, we are calling on Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, which which really means Buddhas means enlightened ones. What he suffers, of course, are great beings of wisdom and compassion. Maybe the best way is to think of, of what we're doing is calling on our own Bodhisattva and Buddha nature as a way of honoring the deceased and helping is a way of fortifying the deceased as she or he finds their way through this intermediate state that we call the Bardo. So this will be a memorial, the memorial prayer will be directed to those collectively, to these hundreds of 1000s of people who have died. Now at this we've reached this juncture of kind of a Buddhist number three, the Buddhist the number three. So without rambling on, just read this. Just do it once and then I'm going to follow it with a recitation of a poem, Japanese poem called flowers also directed to collectively to these victims of COVID but first the memorial prayer, all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas abiding in all directions, endowed with great compassion and doubt with love, affording protection to sentient beings, consent to the power of your great compassion to come forth, or compassionate ones, you who possess the wisdom of understanding the love of compassion, the power of protecting and in comprehensible measure COVID victims are passing from this world to the next. They are taking a great leap. The light of this world has faded for them. They have entered solitude with their karmic forces. They have gone into a vast silence. They are born away by the great ocean of birth and death. Or compassionate ones, protect these victims who are defenseless, be to them like a father and the mother. Or compassionate ones, like not the force of your compassion be weak, but aid them. Forget not your ancient vows.
