My Life & My Existence - Who am I?

[Lester Levenson's tomb in Sedona Ilchi meditation Center]

3. Death of my father

His father passed away when he was in Second Grade of Junior high school. His father was diagnosed with liver sclerosis from a liver fluke and was sick since Byuk Woon was in Fifth Grade in Elementary school.

He remembered his father with a swollen stomach that was bloated and twice as big as normal.  He took his father on a cart to the hospital; and his father came back by taxi as a cold corpse.

He never had a chance to say goodbye to his father. When he heard about his father’s death from his teacher during class, he felt a little bit strange.

Until that moment, he believed that the disease could be cured with hospital treatment. From then on, he trusted doctors and hospitals only up to a certain point. “How vain the death of a human is! The day before yesterday, my father was next to me!  Is this how meaningless life is: that it can just disappear so suddenly?”

He felt numb and hopeless that, like his father, he himself would disappear suddenly and leave without saying goodbye.
