- Near Death Experiences - info and understanding update according to new research, findings and development - - we need to go for the whole truth of this phenomena (eg. Pam Reynolds's EEG during her full-blown NDE was flat.) - English and Italian subtitles available.
Thank you, that was interesting.
Dear Bhante,
I think your videos are some of my favorite that I have ever encountered on youtube (or anywhere else for that matter!). Posting more would always be welcome and much appreciated. Also: Is there a way one can offer you Dana via the internet?
Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu!

Bante, nama rupa (mind and physical body) are interdependent. Arupa Brahmas don't have mind, some don't have physical body. They are incapable of using six senses (five bodily senses and one mind). If NDE is viewed that way, the people who experienced NDE must have a different kind of physical body.
In the NDE-language it is called “astral body” - a kind of fine-material body which can go through the walls but can stand on the ground… - all bodies - even the physical - are just different densities of appearances.
Let’s go advanced Buddhism: in SN22.95 the Buddha compares rupa =’body or materiality’ to ‘a foam’:
"Monks, suppose that a large glob of foam were floating down this Ganges River, and a man with good eyesight were to see it, observe it, & appropriately examine it. To him it would appear empty, void, without substance. In the same way a monk sees, observes, & appropriately examines any body/matterial object/form (=rupa) - to him it would appear empty, void, without substance.”
In Abhidhamma “paramatha” is the “Ultimate Reality” which means reality without additional mental creations. Here “rupa” (materiality/‘shape’) is seen as a combination of mere immaterial characteristics of hardness (“earth”), cohesion (“water”), temperature (“fire”) and movement (“air”). So in the end everything conditioned are just two kinds of ‘virtual’ phenomena: mental and non-mental. Buddha never denied the existence of phenomena.
(Even Einstein new that what appears to us as ‘matter’ is just condensed and crystalized energy.)
Sadhu x 3 Bhante !
