The Thief on the Cross

Doubters

It was his lucky day! 

Hard to believe? Alarming? The thief was one lucky fellow. We are all going to die, but this thief right at the moment of his painful death meets a Holy Man who assures him of paradise. How lucky is that? Wouldn't you like to be with a Holy Man when you die? Wouldn't you consider it pretty lucky to be with an Awakened Being who is able to see beyond your faults and failures. And who despite his own suffering is able to assure you of Nirvana. Think about it, the thief found himself dying alongside Christ. Holy Cow!

Are you skeptical?

This story is very encouraging for all of you who feel "it's too late" to find your way on the path or you've done way too much harm to be worthy of anything else but a hellish existence. It's never too late.

When you are in the middle of pain and agony, which often feels like you are going to die, wouldn't it be helpful if you could be alongside a Blessed One. Well...ahem, let me respectfully and gently remind you of the previous post. You know, the one with the moons around the heads. Where is this Holy One?
