after you pass away, nothing will happen. You may think, “After my death, what
will happen to this world?” [Laughing.] But nothing will happen to this world.

[laughs]. Nothing whatsoever happen to this cosmic scale.----------------------------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-12-01-A as found on shunryusuzuki.com.
