In Tibet they call it
“sky burial”,
And wise people
Come to sit
With the half eaten dead,
To meditate
In the charnal ground.
They practice “chod”,
Inviting hungry ghosts
To feast on them,
Unafraid of horror,
Unfraid of inevitability.
When the crows eat me,
They will talk
To each other
And fly into trees,
Their droppings
Contain me,
My body will spread
Giving life
To the grass.
-2/11/20, for Machig Labdron and the people of Wuhan
Adbusters is one of a handful of magazines in the world that receives zero funding from advertising (print or online), corporate sponsorship or government/foundation grants. We are entirely reader-supported, allowing us to remain fiercely independent in what we do and say. We operate as a non-profit organization, which means that every dollar we raise through the sales of our magazines and other merchandise goes directly back into our campaigns and the production of the magazine. When you subscribe to Adbusters, you are joining a network of artists and activists committed to speaking truth to power without reservation.
