E...Donate Life<br />Bikesh Shrestha, bikesh@hotmail.de <br /><br />Ever since I was a child, I wondered why dead bodies are burned. I live quite near a cemetery (a funeral pyre for burning bodies) and occasionally, when the wind is strong, the smoke enters our house. I always felt that the smell was bad for our health and for the biosphere too, as we breathe in the air. Those were my childhood thoughts. Now I know more about the biosphere, atmosphere and gasses found on Earth.<br /><br />As I gradually became more educated, I felt that I wanted my body to be buried under a big tree, with no tomb, as Christians have, or to donate my body to a university for medical research. I told my parents and other members of my family but they said it was a foolish idea and against our religion.<br /><br />However, now I know that this is one of the best things I could do for mankind. I've always wondered, since I was a child, why the Nepalese burned bodies. This is just a custom and has no scientific basis.<br /><br />During my childhood I saw many funeral processions. Some bodies had even been placed on a large chair. This is a Buddhist tradition, especially in the Bajracharya community.<br /><br />I saw lots of people in the procession behind a dead body (malami haru) and I always wondered why. I told my mother that I didn't want to trouble people after my death so to just take a taxi or ambulance and take my body to Swoyambhu and bury it under a big tree. I thought that my body would decompose and the tree would gain some fertiliser and would grow even bigger because of this human fertiliser and that, ultimately, it would give out good oxygen into the atmosphere and that mankind would benefit.<br /><br />I also thought that burning bodies uses up a lot of wood, which meant we would have to cut down trees, but that we should not cut down trees because they are a source of oxygen and that would mean degrading the environment.<br /><br />Gradually I developed the idea of donating my eyes. My family was opposed to it and said that I would not attain salvation. They called it "Paar lagdaina". I actually still do not know the meaning of "Paar<br />lagdaina". It is just a conservative and ignorant idea.<br /><br />I always told my family about my ideas and they called me a foolish child. a long while late, I got ill and was taken to hospital where I saw many people who did not have any major disease dying. I felt that<br />the body should not be burned but instead used to feed the big jungle animals, so that they would not have to kill deer, wild pigs, antelope, etc.<br /><br />In Nepal, on Lord Krishna's birthday a certain street (Tol) has a photographic exhibition of Lord Krishna. I saw that Buddha has cut off his own flesh to give to a weak, hungry tiger. I was shocked – how could anyone give a piece of his body in such a manner? Only Buddha could do it it because he is superhuman - this being an extremely thing to do. But I was also searching for something else.<br /><br />Finally, after reading various textbooks at college (around 1978 when I was 16), I read about the first human heart transplant performed by Dr. Christian Barnard in South Africa. This enlightened me and motivated me. Here was my answer.<br /><br />After reading about that, I wondered when it would happen in Nepal. Now respected doctors perform organ transplants very successfully. Well done to our life-saving doctors. Doctors are one type of Boddhisatva (one of the paths to Buddhahood). I also read of a Tibetan tradition of throwing dead bodies out to feed eagles and vultures. This is a very good idea and very praise-worthy.<br /><br />Ever since then I have been interested in human organ transplantation. In my opinion, Nepal lags behind in this field so we need to do more to encourage people to donate their bodies and/or organs.Bikesh Shresthahttp://www.enlighten.blog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35904990.post-35622515169509704572010-08-07T05:27:56.111+05:302010-08-07T05:27:56.111+05:30I'm sorry to hear about your mother.

Since i was aware about the process of eyes and body donation through this article of yours, the process was done very smoothly. Her eyes and body was donated to the eye bank and Anatomy Dept. of MGM Medical college Kamothe, Navi Mumbai respectively. Thank you once again. We could honour the wish of our grandmother.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04096119245202408313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35904990.post-91954950112797983522010-06-28T15:46:31.733+05:302010-06-28T15:46:31.733+05:30Thanks for sharing this with all...we r at present...Thanks for sharing this with all...we r at present going through tough times. My grandmother aged 79 is in the ICU at Belapur, Navi Mumbai. The desire to donate her body has been expressed by all her near and dear ones. But nobody seemed to know about the procedure. Since I was finding out whether I can get any info thru net, I came across ur blog. Since she has not registered anywhere and is now too critical to sign the form, it is our responsibility to do the needful. Also the piece of info on not letting to cremate outside respective municipal jurisdiction was worth knowing. As my grandmother has been staying in Bandra but was visiting me where she unfortunately had to be moved to hospital and is on the fringe of death, the jurisdiction of cremation may matter if we take her dead body back to Bandra.<br />Thanks for sharing. Such experiences are much valuable for people in similar situation.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04096119245202408313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35904990.post-43575416944064000812009-12-07T10:37:49.645+05:302009-12-07T10:37:49.645+05:30Dear Rajesh,
