A video for your pleasure if you have a spare hour it is interesting to listen to, I could listen to buddhist monks all day long talking with their wisdom and experience, always in an uncomplicated compassionate and often light hearted way. Having returned from a 3 day Buddha Amatayus retreat. I have been immersed in intense meditation and prayer solidly, interspersed with indepth conversations with like minded people, and the imparting of wisdom from bodhisattva beings, young and old, nuns to drug addicts. I have come back feeling free and feeling the warm buddhist arms surrounding me, a nun approached me regarding my health, she took my name and told me that it would go around all of the temples in the kadampa tradition and that the monks would develop 'powa' through meditation for me, if you are interested in Powa and bodhicitta and creating Darma you would need to read about it as I would be no good at explaining or go on you tube and listen to monks talk about it. I was extremely humbled to say the least as she then proceeded to thrust an organic chocolate bar in my hand for the journey home! There are links between science and buddhism regarding death and to be honest if you really want to get into it quantum mechanics, energy waves atoms and all that malarkey. Death is part of life and this is a big part of the buddhist philosophy so here is a very honest video from an experienced monk (I am sure there are many, some with the Dalai Lama on youtube) but I think this guys experience is quite beautiful.
