201-Near-death experience - Buddhism in daily life

Near-death experience


A near-death experience is an experience "close to" death, that
is, almost dead, so to speak.


One could also express it in such a way that life itself is a
continuous near-death experience, whereby the almost dead person
just got away again.


The possibility to die now, in this moment, that is absolutely
real, just as the chances stand for a survival, at least at the
end one dies.


The religions of this world search for explanations for the fate
"after death", was it that, or is there the paradise after all?
Buddhism differs from monotheistic world views in that everyone
involved can experience his "enlightenment", is not at the mercy
of a spiritual elite.


The near-death experience is felt especially in life-threatening
situations; witnesses report similar problems in their stories.
One day we will all have such a near-death experience, which will
then turn into a death experience, then when we die. Tunnel
situations occur frequently, light apparitions occur, encounters
with deceased friends or relatives creep out the audience in any
horror movie.


There are plenty of opinions about it, the explanations are
spiritual approaches and horror stories, film and art have
invented the shudder as a genre, in any case, such an experience
also impresses the psyche of those affected, dying is just
something very personal.


The whole life is a simple near-death experience, because each of
us has died several times FAST, often without knowing it, our
privacy is vulnerable, we know our fate.


Is there a continuation of life after death, humanity wonders all
the time? Will we, one way or another, live on after death? The
mostly religious hope for a paradise has lost credibility,
consciousness has emancipated itself.


Near-death experiences have also inspired the authors in
Buddhism, the persistence beyond death forms the nucleus of the
doctrine of rebirth. For to be born again the consciousness
should survive at least in parts.


The experiences are mostly without body, here only the spirit
ghosts without entering the beyond. What does the future bring,
what will we go through? And how was the return after the
near-death experience?


Have you ever almost died? And what would be your true feelings?
Where did we come from, where will we go?


Such an experience gives the experience of time and space as one,
which can also be a good lesson for further survival.


Either you start believing after such an experience, or you start
asking questions about the meaning. In any case Buddhism has
suitable answers.


The way is the goal!
