WK4: The Tibetan Book of the Dead

Faqir Chand medidated a lot and for that reason was sought to be a man of a million powers. No, but he was not. He just decided to concentrate on life and live it at his highest peak. The relation of his dreams and seeings with the book of Tibetan, made it clear that this was not just an ordinary man. I liked the fact that when he had dreams that were said to be messages of such, he looked further into them and tried to get a better understanding of what they were really meaning. He made it to clear to the people that not everything that has come out of his mouth is true but indeed it is his conclusion on his life. Being attatched to nothing nor anyone makes it easier to realize that death is just a thing that happens and we dont know where we go after that. As Faqir said that he did not know where he would be going after his death, he made clear to produce his outlooks on life point by point as to the book of Tibetan. This man was something else maybe not the pope nor God, but he knew something else that many of us are still trying to figure out someday. Faqir Chand, i believe held something valuable within him and he tried his best to figure out what he could of done better to let us know about that.
