Kindness Towards The Dead

While walking we see many dead animals and birds lying on road mostly due to accidents. From the day we started walking we would move them on the side and share prayers.

Yesterday someone saw us moving a dog that was lying dead on a high way. He asked us why do we do that. We did not have an answer then. One of the logic was to remove an obstacle for those who are driving. In retrospect we realised that the first time both of us did this act was during our 30 days inturnship in 2014 when we were walking with a friend.

A bunch of us were walking next to a water canal when he saw a dead dog. He said, let’s put a plastic bag on our hand and move him aside. We did it and shared our prayers. He added every being has right to be treated respectfully even if dead. We think the seed was planted then. Since then it has become an involuntary act. We still don’t know why do we do but it feels satisfactory.
