This video covers topics such as good death, hellish death, the need to relinquish everything, conscious, and the importance of preparing for death.
Tremendously interesting. Thank you!
Worth viewing!
I watched that video recently and found it fascinating, so I got interested in his work; however, after watching another video (link below) I felt he lost much of his credibility, in particular in his duscussion of âawakeningâ and ânon-dual consciousnessâ at 6:05 YouTube
Yeah, you just have to accept that what most people call âawakeningâ or âenlightenmentâ or âblissâ or even âa good timeâ just doesnât even hold a candle to what we mean by those terms in Buddhism. And we canât count it against muggles when theyâre ignorant. We just have to recognize the difference.
For example, I have multiple times now had a good chuckle when a friend of mine has a strong manic episode, and then calls me up in excited tones telling all about their âenlightenmentâ and âspiritual awakening.â Hah!
But I understand where theyâre coming from because, hey, Iâve been there too. So you just have to keep in mind where that person is and relate to them using their language and understanding. In this way we can (sometimes) gently guide people towards ever higher wisdom.
He also wrote a book on the evidence for past lives called ⌠âPast livesâ
