On Monday Aug. 29 Pradeep Guruge arrived at work at a bank where he got the tragic news that his wife and 4 year old daughter were struck and killed mere blocks away from their home. A black Infinity G35 driven by 28- years unnamed crossed centre line colliding head-on. As a Buddhist Pradeep said he's been relying on religion to get him through the day, that and ensuring he remains as close as possible to his eldest daughter who was at home when the accident happened. He also said people don't do these things intentionally so there is no reason for us to be aggressive, or hate the driver and repeatedly reminded himself that everything is uncertain. That's why you have to a good life free of anger, revenge or hatred.

I bow my head to him and offer our prayer to the departed soul of his wife and daughter to Almighty Lord to give eternal peace in heaven and we should learn from him and try to put in to practice in our lives too.
