Afterlife: Matt Take Notice!!! (Introduction)
This isn't the work of Buddha, but some of the Tibetan mystics that wrote the Book of the Dead. Buddhism offers no ontology for the mind--one of its attractions is its implicit assertion that ontologies are dangerous. (They create illusion as opposed to helping us dissolve them.)
It is my impression that the Book of the Dead was written to handle the problem NDE's presented.
Have you read it?
No, just a review of it.
It was compiled over several hundreds of years as Buddhist Priests attended the last rites of their dying. Much of it is compiled from people who experienced NDEs. It's a manual of what death is and more importantly--what to expect as you die. It is not an attempt at explaining NDEs.
That is how I understood it. Thanks for your explanation.
