God knew what he was
talking about when he said:
:09:03
Remember, thou art dust
and to dust thou shalt return.
:09:08
Dear friends, a crematorium
is pleasing to our Lord,
:09:15
helping Him to hasten
our transformation into dust.
:09:19
Some object, saying that Christ
was buried, not cremated.
:09:26
Quite a different matter,
dear friends.
:09:30
I tell those good people:
They embalmed our Savior,
:09:34
wrapped Him in a shroud
and interred Him in a cave.
:09:38
But none of you
will be interred in a cave
:09:42
or wrapped in a shroud.
:09:46
My dear friends,
:09:49
we live in a humane
country that builds crematoria.
:09:56
But not for no reason,
or just to visit like a museum.
:10:02
After life's tribulations, they
allow people to lie down quietly
:10:07
and be transformed into dust.
:10:09
I have a wonderful book
on Tibet - page 38, for example:
:10:17
Suffering is an evil we must be
rid of, or at least alleviate.
:10:23
The sooner a man turns to dust
the sooner he is free,
:10:28
transformed,
:10:29
enlightened
:10:36
reincarnated...
:10:39
Animals, too.
It takes 20 years in a grave
:10:44
but just 75 minutes
at a crematorium.
:10:49
Well, dear friends...
:10:58
to humanity's happiness.
