DEAD: Beauty Queen Miss Venezuela Ariana Viera posted chilling message (nypost.com) |
English translation: “I'm recording myself for my future funeral because it’s always me the one in the videos and no one else does it,” she posted two months before falling asleep at the wheel. |
Barbie (Margot Robbie) gets "deep" contemplating death.

Car crash: Miss Venezuela Ariana Viera (RIP)
Latin American beauty queen Miss Venezuela Ariana Viera, 26, dead after chilling post |
TikTok fame! |
Mexican funeral home offering Barbie-inspired coffins
I crashed. It was an accident. Bye. |
The firm shared a clip of the promotion on TikTok, where it went viral with 1.6 million views and nearly 5,000 comments.
Other funeral homes -- located in Mexico, El Salvador, and across Latin America -- have also joined the trend, cashing in on the success of the Barbie film as they also launch bright pink coffins.
[There is now also a shortage of pink paint in the U.S. due to "pink fever" brought on by Barbie's super-successful ad campaign.]
SUTRA: What to contemplate at time like this?
The Future-Buddha Maitreya is decorated like a doll. |
1. I am sure to become old; I cannot avoid aging. // I am subject to aging, have not gotten beyond aging. Jarādhammomhi jaraṃ anatīto....
2. I am sure to become ill; I cannot avoid becoming ill. // I am subject to illness, have not gotten beyond illness. Vyādhidhammomhi vyādhiṃ anatīto....
3. I am sure to die; I cannot avoid death. // I am subject to death, have not gotten beyond death. Maraṇadhammomhi maraṇaṃ anatīto....
4. I am sure to be separated and parted from all that is dear and beloved to me. // I will grow different, separate from all that is dear and appealing to me. Sabbehi me piyehi manāpehi nānābhāvo vinābhāvo....
But what if I don't believe in karma? - No matter. |
What if I die? - You'll be reborn. |
The Buddha advised: "These are five facts that one should often reflect on, whether one is a female or male, layperson or monastic" [5].
Since the Buddha clarified, defining karma ("action") as the intention (cetana) behind a deed motivating it (Nibbedhika Sutta), "intentions" or "intentionally committed deeds" may be better translations of karma in the fifth contemplation or recollection above.
