Buddha means “Awakened One”, someone who has awakened and sees things as they really  a Buddha is a person who is completely free from all faults and mental obstructions. Because he has awakened from the sleep of ignorance and has removed all obstructions from his mind, he
Knows. This is a great depiction of Ben Riley.  I heard the news that Mr, Ben Rilley passed away my heart sank. I couldnt believe what I was hearing. I met you during a dark period of my life, and your bright smile, amazing humour, and zest for life encouraged me and helped me to heal and look forward to a better tomorrow. Your smiles, laughter, and humour helped change my life. Meeting you was pivotal in facilitating the new direction I was about to embark on for my next chapter. Thank you for that smiley Riley!

I remember one day we sat down to eat breakfast and instead we spent the entire day exchanging stories. We helped each other in a unique way that day and from that day forward we secured a significant bond that I will always treasure. We had a good group on the island of our paradise, Gili T:) we basked in the sun everyday telling stories( dom and you were kindred spirits destined to meet) we spent days laughing, forming friendships, and making plans for all of our future travels. Made friends with all the locals, mushroom shakes at coral beach two, and of course hookah at Pesona. I actually encouraged you to share food, which was out of our element, although you did embrace it and kind of enjoyed it lol. We spent nights under the stars as a group singing ragaee,  while our friends Bridey and Jude played a guitar duet, accompanied by the beautiful voice of Marie. One of the happiest moments as written on all of our smiling faces. Your energy and youthfulness resonated with every person who was blessed to meet you. I remember the day we left that island you gave yati the equivalent of her entire paycheck since her boss would not pay her. You were so thoughtful of others and I know you wished to do more the next time you returned to Gili T. In honour of your good heart I will do for them what you wanted to do. I cannot think of a better way to honour your beautiful life. My next destination of travel will be to celebrate your life and the freedom that travel allow. Fly free my friend and thank you once again for being apart of my life. RIP Smiley Riley:) thank you for the memories.
