I was brave. I read Buddhist sayings at a xtian funeral.

[YankeyMCC]

1. At my mother's funeral service

- a catholic service - I gave the eulogy.

I didn't quote specific Buddhist scripture or teachers.

I did however speak from the heart and what came out was very much influenced by what I've learned in practice. What came out was a talk full of pointers to the sacredness of real moments, interconnectedness, death as its own thing not just an ending of life.

And no mention of gods or life after death etc...

And the priest, who we know fairly well, certainly could not miss the fact that I do not kneel or pray during the service and my wrist mala, came up to me afterwards to thank me for my talk. He called it spiritual, more meaningful than most eulogies and asked if he could use it as an example for others.
