No one seems to actually KNOW any answers, that they can PROVE. No one has come back from death with them.
Instances of NDE’s are well documented. These are people who have been declared clinically dead, ie Scientifically, Defined As Dead, but then they’ve reanimated – oops! The Buddhist view otoh, is that those who’ve been through an NDE, haven’t yet crossed the threshold of death, which is defined as the point where consciousness permanently leaves the body, ie they were never actually dead, are not dead, yet.
Their proof comes via the direct experience of non-duality, and lies in the empirical, corroborated observations of ‘contemplative scientists’ who have lived out similar experiences for long periods of time, and who can describe in great detail, the various stages of death, and the intermediate stage, between death and rebirth. But to access the proof, you have to do the work. |
