Thanks for posting Dechen.

Ones life changes a lot, one is not afraid from death anymore and possible can see life very clearly as a must to realize its nature. There is a big sadness because beings are harming each other constantely due to belief in selfnesses. But there is a knowing behind, which is appaering like home and a desire to know how the conceptual world arises. One wants only one thing and that is a teacher to guide out of that crazy painful conceptual world and the profound wish to be able to help all out of that.

It is difficult to understand how it is possible one just lives for oneself, all teachings from the Buddha, the 6 realms are not some instructions in a book, the pain of beings is seen.


I think there is maybe by some who had NDE experience a kind of dissapointment due to not possible to explain and no chance to get understanding. But in case of a 'buddhist', it is not needful people believes or not, it is given a strenght, so strong which need no explanation, rather practice by guidance of the master who knows "both worlds" is the importance.
He is recognized since one recognizes selfless nature, not to compare with whatever.

Then all is practice to not be caught in that conceptual created madness and one has the genuine wish to help all, but there must be openess to listen.

Many can give negating comments about NDE, these are bathing in the compassion, comments are part of that crazy world in which beings are suffering due to their ideas of solid world. Of course, it is sad to see perfect beings doing so, caught in idea distortion, compassion is the answer.

A story from a so called delog. But I think then such delog finally lives not in a labeling world anymore, since all phenomena must be liberating in itself, at least so I guess.

Interesting link. Thanks!

Also very interesting is this video, from the same conference:

A Conversation with Eben Alexander III, M.D. - Near Death Experiencer -

http://www.btci.org/bioethics/2012/videos2012/vid3.html

On you tube you can find also other interesting videos with him. He was 7 day in a deep coma, with zero brain activity, and he had his NDE experience in this period.
If you look at his CV, he doesn't seems the kind of guy who likes to invent sensational stories: http://www.lifebeyonddeath.net/curriculum-vitae

From a buddhist point of view, how can we understand his life changing experience?
