We know she made many friends across the zone so we’d like to take this opportunity to inform all of you that her family and friends will be hosting a memorial service this Sunday @ 1pm @ the Seattle Buddhist Center (more details below). Please feel free to forward this to anyone who may have known her. Thank you. Sunrise Puget Sound Region Team *From:* Valerie G.

We hope you can participate in this joyful event! Sara counted her many SGI-USA friends as treasures of the heart, so lets meet and share our heartfelt stories. To quote Sensei: From the perspective of Buddhism, the end of this life (death) is the departure toward our next existence - just another step in the great ongoing story of life itself, as we enact fresh dramas of birth and death with each new lifetime. Life-to-life ties forged in this present existence are not severed or extinguished by death. Though they may be invisible, like radio waves, these connections endure eternally. With this deep conviction, though the sadness of loss may linger, there will be no sense of loneliness. Tears of sorrow will eventually turn into tears of fresh commitment. Surviving family members, loved ones and friends of the deceased will be able to look ahead to the future positively. Family members of the deceased, in particular, will be able to gain the courage and energy to live to the fullest not only for themselves but for the deceased - striving not as mere survivors but as successors who share and carry on the deceaseds aspirations. Our view of life and death exerts a decisive influence on our lives. If more people, therefore, believed in the eternity of life, just imagine how human civilization might be transformed! June 2014 Living Buddhism p. 31.
