Stupa at Telford Priory
We have snow tonight
All is still and bright
Some mellow sadness.
Seeing the stupa
What remains
After cremation?
Brilliant light
Where remains
Saido in the stupa.
It was Rev. Saido’s wish to have his cremated remains interred within the stupa he constructed relatively recently. There are already ashes of two lay sangha members in there.
The ‘how’ and the ‘when’ details will appear here, when I know.

There is a tiny light resting on his chest in the form of a tree. He had this light beside him during a number of long sleepless nights.
I’m singing an offertory which I felt to be suitable on this particular occasion. I’ll post the words and music at some point.
