Interesting. When they return from mahasamadhi, what do they say they’ve seen?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The question is : What will BenLurkin see?

It all depends on the kind of life one has lead, as to what one sees, also on where one is reborn in the six realms of existance. But who here gives a sweet Eff? Nobody.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sa%E1%B9%83s%C4%81ra_(Buddhism)

For one who is steeped in prayer and meditation, during the intermedate stages between life and death, of mahasamadhi, the body remains warm, radiating warmth form the heart center. When samadhi is complete, then rigor mortis sets in and the connection between body and spirit is severed.

But then, we are much too civilized to even learn about such things, we know everything already, and besides its all just too threatening. We would all rather think that death will not happen to us, and so remain unprepared for it.

I am not sari, I am feeling like I have satyagraha.So why tandoor an apology when in fact we samsara? This condition is no ones fault, its just pratimoksha.

Besides, one too many sahibs will beard the monkey and then all bardo-bets are off. And who is interested in a gurucicle anyway?

Thank you. I actually have a lot of respect for the thought and complexity of Hindu teachings. Studied it a little in college, too.

I have good news for you my FRiend. When I leave this body, what I will see is the shining face of Jesus. He will welcome me home to be with him and the other believers who have preceded me in death.

This will be destination for all who accept Christ as their Lord and Savior, “for we walk by faith, not by sight— we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.”

Jesus is saying to you, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.”

Jesus is standing at your door of your heart and knocking. You need only open the door to your heart today.
