“Kaneta said, “What determined life or death? No Buddhist priest knows, no Christian pastor – not even the Pope in Rome. So I would say, ‘There’s one thing I can tell you, and that is that you are alive, and so am I. This is a certainty. And if we are alive, then there must be some meaning to it. So let’s think about it, and keep thinking about it. I’ll be with you as we think. I’ll stay with you, and we will do it together.’ Perhaps it sounds glib. But that is what I could say.”
