One journey ends, another begins. May he find a rebirth conducive to his practise.

I had deeply hoped he'd pull through. This is very sad news. My heart and thoughts go out to his family. He was a brilliant teacher, at least I learnt a lot from him. There'll be a large JC shaped hole here and I'm sure elsewhere now :(

JC will be missed here, and elsewhere too I'm sure.

Something like this happening suddenly brings home that even though we know our lives are impermanent it often doesn't really sink in, and we live as if we can be certain we have many years ahead of us.

Such sad news.

Anicca vata sankhara ...

May James have a rebirth where he can hear and practise the Dhamma
May James have happiness and the causes of happiness
May he quickly progress on the path to Nibbana and never fall back.
May those he has left behind be free of mental and physical pain.

with metta and karuna
Chris

Such sadness that brings home the Buddha's call to urgency.

May his family be strong and remember his goodness.

I'm saddened to discover this. I worked with James briefly at e-sangha and always considered him a very genuine and kind fellow practitioner. He will be missed.

May he be happy and at peace wherever he goes from here. May his loved ones be happy and at peace.

Terrible news. He had developed provisions for the journey, that enthusiasm for and understanding of Dhamma...

Metta,

Phil

I just stumbled upon this news on Facebook. How tragic. I don't even know what to say. This sucks.

JC was an excellent poster and moderator. I learned a lot from him.

Much metta to James's family and friends in their time of loss.
