Witnessing the Diversity of Life: ‘More Reverence for Life Than Fear’

Some people hear about death and funerals through movies, while others form vague impressions from distant memories of funerals, thinking that there is only one traditional option for burial and cremation.

However, the truth is that “peace for both the living and the dead, no regrets for either” are the ultimate goals, with everything coming down to the wishes of the deceased and their families, as a mark of the highest respect.

Students from Tsun Jin High School, KL expanded their perspectives by witnessing the diversity of complete life practices.

“I didn’t know that the materials for coffins used in burial and cremation are different.”
“There are even environmentally friendly coffins that are ‘rented’ and reused.”
“There are many different burial methods, and what impressed me most were the epitaphs.”
“The concept of ash burial amazed me; it felt like another form of life transmission.”
“The Silent Mentor’s farewell and contribution deeply moved me with reverence.”
“At Peace Memorial Garden, the sacrifices reminded us that peace is hard-won.”
“Thinking of my grandmother’s passing, if there had been such care from a ‘Life Practitioner’, I would have found more peace.”
“Seeing death from this perspective gave life a deeper level of meaning.”
“More than fear, I feel a deep reverence for life.”
“Death doesn’t erase a person’s existence but represents another form of presence in this world.”

The Life Education team also deeply appreciates the handmade commemorative gifts from the teachers and students, and we offer our heartfelt thanks with a deep bow.
