Dying Religions

For modern science, the transitional states of consciousness lie at the forefront of research in many fields. For a Buddhist practitioner, these same states present crucial opportunities to explore and transform consciousness itself.

Revolving around three key moments of consciousness - sleep, dreams, and death - the conversations recorded here are both engrossing and highly listenable.

In Living Is Dying, Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse presents us with everything we need to face death calmly and confidently.

ही कहाणी आहे अनिता मूरजानी या कॅन्सर पेशंटची. चार वर्ष चाललेल्या तिच्या जीवघेण्या लढाईची. एक एक अवयव निकामी होत गेला आणि अखेर ती शेवटच्या घटका मोजू लागली. मृत्यूला तिने स्पर्श केला आणि एक विलक्षण साक्षात्कार तिला झाला… तो म्हणजे आपल्या शरीरापलीकडच्या अस्तित्वाचा. तिथे मृत्युची भीती संपली… जीवन अमर्याद आहे हे कळून चुकले. हेही लक्षात आले की तिला बरे करण्याचे सामर्थ्य तिच्याचकडे आहे.
