BUDDHIST NUN WITNESSES 100s OF DEATHS: WHAT DID SHE LEARN?

[@Dion_Mustard]

I am a British man, somewhat "rational-minded" and for years I have had Out of Body Experiences and 'Lucid Dreams'. These experiences have taught me that consciousness is not wholly connected to my brain. When I have these experiences I am definitely NOT inside my physical body. It's hard to explain to skeptical people unless they experience it themselves. I do not need to prove anything to anyone. My experiences alone have made me realise death is not the end.

[@modernbuddhismpodcast]

Thank you for sharing this!

[@bartmira]

How do you do it? Lucid dreaming and OBE's?

[@peterbuckley9731]

@@modernbuddhismpodcastI have had the same experiences…. Didn’t give me all the answers, in fact didn’t even relieve the intense suffering I am going through…. But it’s not the end. So so hard to explain to others. It’s like explaining swimming in water to someone who has never encountered water.

[@peterbuckley9731]

@@bartmirathey happen to you… at least the OBEs, in my experience. The lucid dreaming can be practiced apparently and prepped for… look to Steiner’s writings and Tom Campbell’s more recent work

Thank you for this very important discussion I'm a senior citizen living in Thailand and we are living in the rural rice producing area and we have a local Wat temple in our village and every morning the young and old monks walk through the village to collect alms, and give blessings Buddhism here in Thailand is very strong and the people really do respect the teachings of the buddha and to be here at my age I'm happy and content...

[@AaAa-hl1zg]

have you ever been to darmamsala in India ? I spent a long time in India from 1970/71 and I still visit my friends who are Hindu and they live in Haridwar on the Ganges near to Rishikesh which is a very spiritual place.. during the early 80's I was involved in building an ashram in bhagsunath upper dharmsala and whilst there I met many Tibetan people and monk's and lama's and back then it was very different to today it's becoming too overcrowded and the atmosphere has changed so much but I'm going back almost 50 years if you haven't been to darmamsala yet I think now that the repair works have been finished since the landslide a few years ago it might be a good time for you to visit ..I like your podcast and I wish you success for the future Om Mani Padme Om ..

[@DevaTemple]

My mother died a week ago after eleven days of not drinking water. She had late stage Alzheimer's and had lost her ability to swallow, aspirated on her medications and developed pneumonia. I have had many experiences with death since 2016 and have experienced samadhi once so I knew a lot what to expect. I helped her to cross over without pain or fear and without morphine. Her lungs were clear and she had no air hunger. She awakened from the semi-comatose state and became pure awareness in the moments before her death. I believe that she transcended and achieved moksha after a lifetime of karma yoga and many years of meditation in the last years of the dementia. It was a very beautiful and profound experience to be with her and the whole process went exactly as she had wanted and as I had worked for years to give her. I know she continues to exist, even if she has chosen to no longer reincarnate. I have very little grief, much less than I thought I would have, because she died so well. I feel peace.

[@modernbuddhismpodcast]

that's incredibly beautiful - thank you for sharing

[@rdkerfi]

Incredibly beautiful and logical. As a medical professional , my job now is to explain to medics that consciousness persists, ‘spiritual care’ is not some throwaway term to let the chaplain deal with, but an essential part of medical care and must be acknowledged and studied ( more) and accepted as material, not religious.

[@radscorpion8]

thank you

[@galaxymetta5974]

Inspiring though a little bit disappointed that meditation could not halt dementia and brain disease. Cheers.

[@scabbycatcat4202]

This confirms exactly what I believe. No one knows WHERE consciousness exists. Some people believe its a product of the brain- yet people who have been brain dead, by every medical definition, have had conscious experiences. Consciousness is ENERGY and every scientist in the world today knows you cannot destroy energy, you can only change it into something else. There is no such thing as death.

[@kristinlaviolette9119]

May I add…I recently heard there’s no such thing as “brain death”. That was a term made up by hospitals to justify harvesting live organs. Your body is either dead-dead or alive. Her story of “how long death takes *in a natural setting*” is an eye opener. I think modern ho$pitals aren’t truly there to help us.

[@Brainteaser5639]

Just like we do not know how life is preserved awaiting ones birth to come and comment here, we may just be getting ahead of ourselves in thinking we know the next stage. I have had general anaesthetic more than three times, and the silence in the gap between sleep and waking surprises me. Where goes me when my brain is not reseaving the message of living due to anaethised? I also have exposure with dementia patients, and there, too, one sees how critical the ones brain is. But I also feel life does not die when the organism dies. Confusedotcom over here, I am afraid😂

[@galaxymetta5974]

Modern research on Near Death Experience by Raymond moody, reincarnation memories by Ian Stevenson/Jim trucker and past lives regression by Brian Weiss all independently but coincidentally show that our consciousness survive death, we live many lives and our thoughts and actions matter in the hereafter.

One thing that challenges this idea for me is, how could it be the case that we reincarnate with the same spirits from a previous life, when more and more people are being born on this planet? And why would we just reincarnate on Earth alone when the universe is so unfathomably massive? Wouldn't it be more likely that we would reincarnate in different star systems, on different planets?

[@markmarco6277]

We humans are stupid. Allowing a natural death by turning off machines does not prevent the dying from suffering. As is the case with the nun's story, the dying lived another 27 hours. That's crazy. We prevent our pets from suffering by administering a sedative and sodium pentothal for a timely demise, yet we don't for humans. If I get terminal cancer, the sad part isn't that I will die from cancer, it is that I don't have a way of going with dignity. I have to diy my death to prevent my own suffering.

[@German-d2v]

Thx for your Insight. Can you explain your comment further. Especially the Second Part

[@attheranch873]

I see it differently. I truly hope that I no longer exist in anyway after death. That doesn’t scare me, suffering scares me. For those of us with major depressive disorder, we are unable to keep our minds positive, so we suffer. MDD is the third highest cause of disability worldwide. She talks as though everyone is is “able“. This is lovely for those that are.

[@modernbuddhismpodcast]

Thank you for your sincere and heartfelt comment. From a Buddhist point of view what you’re saying is really profound and important to consider because our belief is that consciousness never ends… and that in itself is not at all a relief, because it potentially means an eternity with a suffering mind… this is what we call samsara. The peace and fearlessness Gen Gomlam is describing isn’t simply from thinking the mind / life continues after death but to having found the secret to that consciousness abiding in a peaceful state. I hope that adds some additional context to her words. Thank you for your comment.

[@Kathleen-cz4ik]

Bring them all in to my heart That includes everyone Unconditionally Rather than looking to worship false idols, Buddhists seek to understand the way people and themselves think! The way the mind works!

Glad I found this today, and feel like I did not entirely chance on it by accident. I do intuit that when a person dies it is like the essence of them leaves to somewhere else. This is appealing on numerous levels, including that the essence of people who might be very unlucky in this life (e.g. murdered as child in a concentration camp, or other brutal diss-compassionate end) was not and could not be destroyed. That also seems to allow for justice / truth beyond the confines of this world.

But what if rebirth does not exist, Even so, An adherent of The Dhamma, Having abandoned greed, hatred & deluded thinking, Here in the present world, Will obtain a pure mind, With complete equanimity, Here & Now in the present world.

[@Catalystresource]

A wonderful and important conversation but I wish more was discussed of what happens AFTER you die. As a former nurse and counselor with LOTS of spiritual experiences I think THIS is more the fear- the great Unknown. As she said, many die suddenly so it is not the process of physical death that is so concerning but where "we" go and what we do after, especially with all the dreadful religious dogma about judgment, punishment, eternal hell, etc. There are many forms of Buddhism and related Taoism that believe in various levels of afterlife with "hell" and demons so it is not all love and light teachings . I've lived all over Asia and those battles are depicted everywhere fiercely in their temple art, statues and cave drawings as well as books. It is not the sanitized psychologically oriented Buddhism of the West or US.

[@modernbuddhismpodcast]

Thank you for your excellent comment - I agree it would be great to explore what happens after death in future episodes.

[@modernbuddhismpodcast]

another thought - while the Buddhist scriptures do indeed describe many frightening visions that can be experienced during the time between death and rebirth, and many types of rebirth that are truly terrifying - if we die with a mind of compassion these will not be our experience. So while I agree it will be great to explore those understandings of the what come after death more in future episodes (and I will also request that), what Gen Gomlam says it practically a perfect antidote to those possibilities.

[@naokait]

I was a Buddhist growing up in Thailand. Fifteen years ago Jesus revealed to me that He is real. Jesus has transformed my life and fills my heart with love, joy and peace. The fear of death also left me. I love to encourage everyone who is reading to pray and ask Jesus to reveal the Truth to you. ❤
