I am a British man, somewhat "rational-minded" and for years I have had Out of Body Experiences and 'Lucid Dreams'. These experiences have taught me that consciousness is not wholly connected to my brain. When I have these experiences I am definitely NOT inside my physical body. It's hard to explain to skeptical people unless they experience it themselves. I do not need to prove anything to anyone. My experiences alone have made me realise death is not the end.
@@modernbuddhismpodcastI have had the same experiences…. Didn’t give me all the answers, in fact didn’t even relieve the intense suffering I am going through…. But it’s not the end. So so hard to explain to others. It’s like explaining swimming in water to someone who has never encountered water.
@@bartmirathey happen to you… at least the OBEs, in my experience. The lucid dreaming can be practiced apparently and prepped for… look to Steiner’s writings and Tom Campbell’s more recent work
My mother died a week ago after eleven days of not drinking water. She had late stage Alzheimer's and had lost her ability to swallow, aspirated on her medications and developed pneumonia. I have had many experiences with death since 2016 and have experienced samadhi once so I knew a lot what to expect. I helped her to cross over without pain or fear and without morphine. Her lungs were clear and she had no air hunger. She awakened from the semi-comatose state and became pure awareness in the moments before her death. I believe that she transcended and achieved moksha after a lifetime of karma yoga and many years of meditation in the last years of the dementia. It was a very beautiful and profound experience to be with her and the whole process went exactly as she had wanted and as I had worked for years to give her. I know she continues to exist, even if she has chosen to no longer reincarnate. I have very little grief, much less than I thought I would have, because she died so well. I feel peace.
Incredibly beautiful and logical. As a medical professional , my job now is to explain to medics that consciousness persists, ‘spiritual care’ is not some throwaway term to let the chaplain deal with, but an essential part of medical care and must be acknowledged and studied ( more) and accepted as material, not religious.
@galaxymetta5974 I’m not sure if it will address your disappointment, but I found it incredibly reassuring to know someone who had spent their life cultivating a loving heart, who when they did develop dementia later in life, would often not recognise the people around them, but whoever they saw they would look at with kind eyes, hold their hand and tell them they loved them. It seemed that perhaps those awful diseases can take away the surface of the mind, but what is really deep within us remains. Just some thoughts offered in case it’s helpful.
This American Buddhist Nurse/Nun is a real spiritual teacher. No nonsense, no scriptural complexity, just supremely practical advice for the transitional process we call death. A process we must all face, with awareness or not. Many Thanks with Metta
@sylvias.7048 I couldn't agree more. We have more episodes with Gen Gomlam on the way - in the meantime do check out the other episodes on the channel. Thank you for your comment.
This confirms exactly what I believe. No one knows WHERE consciousness exists. Some people believe its a product of the brain- yet people who have been brain dead, by every medical definition, have had conscious experiences. Consciousness is ENERGY and every scientist in the world today knows you cannot destroy energy, you can only change it into something else. There is no such thing as death.
May I add…I recently heard there’s no such thing as “brain death”. That was a term made up by hospitals to justify harvesting live organs. Your body is either dead-dead or alive. Her story of “how long death takes *in a natural setting*” is an eye opener. I think modern ho$pitals aren’t truly there to help us.
Just like we do not know how life is preserved awaiting ones birth to come and comment here, we may just be getting ahead of ourselves in thinking we know the next stage. I have had general anaesthetic more than three times, and the silence in the gap between sleep and waking surprises me. Where goes me when my brain is not reseaving the message of living due to anaethised? I also have exposure with dementia patients, and there, too, one sees how critical the ones brain is. But I also feel life does not die when the organism dies. Confusedotcom over here, I am afraid😂
Thank you for this very important discussion I'm a senior citizen living in Thailand and we are living in the rural rice producing area and we have a local Wat temple in our village and every morning the young and old monks walk through the village to collect alms, and give blessings Buddhism here in Thailand is very strong and the people really do respect the teachings of the buddha and to be here at my age I'm happy and content... Patrick
have you ever been to darmamsala in India ? I spent a long time in India from 1970/71 and I still visit my friends who are Hindu and they live in Haridwar on the Ganges near to Rishikesh which is a very spiritual place.. during the early 80's I was involved in building an ashram in bhagsunath upper dharmsala and whilst there I met many Tibetan people and monk's and lama's and back then it was very different to today it's becoming too overcrowded and the atmosphere has changed so much but I'm going back almost 50 years if you haven't been to darmamsala yet I think now that the repair works have been finished since the landslide a few years ago it might be a good time for you to visit ..I like your podcast and I wish you success for the future Om Mani Padme Om .. Patrick
This was a very moving conversation … to hear how meditation and Buddhism has changed Gen Gonlam personally is deeply inspiring. It was immensely helpful to hear a conversation about death that linked the theory of death from Buddhist teachings with her own experience and that of others she worked with, so illuminating. Her eloquent and thoughtful reflections brought me to tears at times. Just beautiful! ❤
When You say “to soothe my soul” means that who is speaking is not the soul. Soul is the blue print of the body a sporadic manifestación of the Concience. 🇵🇸
What a beautiful episode! Thank you to Gen Kelsang Gomlam for sharing her experiences and deeply held scientific beliefs. I am so appreciative of her calm strength and quiet dedication.
@deborahcavel-greant6155 She really is so amazing - we have another amazing episode with Gen Gomlam coming soonish :-) - it had us all in tears in the studio it's that powerful.
Her journey is incredible, how the one fear- the fear of death which was felt as a young girl slowly opened up many doors of answers to her final home in Buddhism. Very often, its in the very wound, we end up seeking what we always wanted. Thank you so much to the both of you. So much to learn 🙏
@echolewis2821 I’m so glad we could help - It’s wonderful to hear that these conversations are reaching people and fostering that sense of connectedness. Thank you for sharing!
Modern research on Near Death Experience by Raymond moody, reincarnation memories by Ian Stevenson/Jim trucker and past lives regression by Brian Weiss all independently but coincidentally show that our consciousness survive death, we live many lives and our thoughts and actions matter in the hereafter. So be kind and helpful to others, be virtuous, meditate and cultivate ourselves to higher spiritual levels. Cheers.
You never know what’s gonna show up in your RUclips feed ..this talk did for me and it was a fantastic conversation in terms of the energy of the whole conversation and the subject matter. Thank you….
I had an NDE through pneumonia, some 25+ years ago. The experience was so profound that I left my job and sold my small home, then bought a beautiful piece of land in north UK to try and live a better life rather than be a work slave until death. It's been hard but rewarding to live alone, creating woodland and orchards and practicing my artistic passions. Now I'm being sought as a place to stay for relief from the world's madness, which is slightly discombobulating. But I'm at a place where I have no fear of death, rather a fear of dying having had an unfulfilled life. I think I'm getting past that and marked my burial place in my woodland glade with a large glacial limestone boulder.....my death stone❤ The funny thing is that I've no time to die, as I've listed waaaay to many projects that I want to do.
It always amazes me to hear about someone else who has gone through different experiences and life paths, and we understand, see, and perceive exactly the same. This is beautiful dialogue. I felt deeply content while listening.
How uplifting.........we are not even the mind. Who were we before our mind developed? This can reveal the unchanging innermost Self. But, it must be experienced. Understanding is the booby prize in life. My previous experience revealed that Who I am is prior to the arising of the mind.
Thank you for this! Gen Gomlam really instills me with confidence to let of clinging to the limited and limiting idea of who I am while I can! It is brilliant to read the comments of others who have also been blessed by listening to this valuable conversation.
Thank you for the interview Kadam Adam & your inspiring story Gen Gomlam. Amazingly helpful conversation for everyone. I’ll be sure to share this with others. ❤
My mother passed after suffering dementia. In her last weeks she couldn’t eat, struggled with fluids and was on some kind of drip. I was with her during her last 9 hours, internally her organs were breaking down she would choke and vomit blood, every time the caring staff changed her bedding and mum’s nightgown this happened three or four times in her last hours. It wasn’t an easy peaceful death more a wretched struggle. If I had the means and courage I would have ended her life, during those last three hours. That suffering was unnecessary, unkind. Nobody leaves, nobody dies, no-one is born. The body is the vehicle for experience, you and I are before and after experience. Experience is transitional ever changing, relative not ultimate. Death is change, that’s it really. Mind makes up the story of a you and me, mother and son, that’s what beings do. I let the beautiful story of mum down, just like society I did not compassionately end that bodily energy into transition which always happens anyway, into dust or fire. My mother was/is a beautiful story alive in me, and when the time comes my true self will watch the story of Bryan die. My hope is that I end my life more gracefully and peaceful than my dear mum.
Hello zendog8592: your story affected me so I am responding thus: my brother was dying, (badly) a prolonged cancer struggle, not enough pain killers and meds as he was in a third world country and friends took all the guns and ammunition away from the house to stop him killing himself - not that he could get to them as he couldn't walk! In retrospect, I wish I had helped him end his own life, as he had wanted to. It would have been the compassionate thing to do. Instead, I, coward that I am, obeyed the law out of fear and left nature to cruelly take its time and cause him terrible suffering for the next several months. When he died I did not cry, I was literally "all cried out"; I was grateful he didn't have to endure any more pain and for the first time, in what seemed like ages, actually felt relief. Your story touched me very deeply. We will continue to learn life's hard lessons - there must be a reason for it all because otherwise the miracle of life makes no sense at all. I am a great believer that we go on once we leave our bodies to perish. We live in a great mystery.
@@modernbuddhismpodcast - Absolutely! Gen Gonlam sharing her experiences, compassion, and wisdom really gave my faith a big boost. Thank you GG & Adam & MBP Team! This production is awesome. What benefit it will bring. Yay!
Very much needed one, loved it all through. How buddhist teaching help's one overcome the haunting fear of death or rather handling it the right way was something nice to listen. Thanks a lot for this podcast.
No more pains. No more sufferings. Your body system is meant to function without them and it will. Wishing you peace and wellness, even when it seems there's no hope for it anymore.
Thank you, for sharing your experiences. The caring woman, riddled with cancer, still showed compassion, for her husband -preparing meals, for her husband before she passed. Without drugs, pain free. Strong faith.
P.S i also had open heart surgery in 2017 December here in Thailand my surgeon and I talked about everything including life and death he being a Buddhist gave me only good advice and my operation was a success 🙏
Love this❤ have a fascination with death since being a child just couldn't work it all out it didn't seem possible to exist and then not do forever, this lady is the right person for hospice care she just has that gentle presence shes wonderful ❤️
@carolinebielby5924 Absolutely agree - she is so gentle, kind and reassuring... and so much wisdom from having been there at those profound moments with many people.
I found Buddhism after a See the Light NDE. ❤. There is no travel time, you’re suddenly there. In the purest light and feeling a love that is unavailable to us in human form. 😊. I wasn’t religious then and certainly not now. But, I know we come back until we get it right. And, you live with the same spirits over and over as well. Your pet was your mother in a past life. Treat them well ❤
Humans can only be humans, not animals! All the timsz i came back i was only a human. be humans. I never came back as an anmal. I lived 5 times that i can recall and remember only being a human. Lmbo.
One thing that challenges this idea for me is, how could it be the case that we reincarnate with the same spirits from a previous life, when more and more people are being born on this planet? And why would we just reincarnate on Earth alone when the universe is so unfathomably massive? Wouldn't it be more likely that we would reincarnate in different star systems, on different planets?
We come back until we get it right? So, we live this life without any remembrance of a past life, but yet we are punished somehow for something we don't remember? So, should I spank my older children for things they don't remember doing as a toddler? I think the only way we learn from our mistakes is to REMEMBER the mistake so that we don't do it again. Living this life and getting it wrong, dying, and then thrown back in the pit to start over from scratch is a bit extreme, especially if we have a God of unconditional love and forgiveness. Just my opinion.
@lmansur1000 So glad you enjoyed it - she’s is so amazing! There are more episodes with Gen Gomlam coming, in the meantime do check out some of our other episodes.
Like a lot of people I have always had a strong fear of dying/sever illness, through your life experiences, questions and observations, I feel much more relaxed like yourself I need to question more. Thank you
My dad was with my grandfather when the grandfather died. Dad said he saw a "grey mist" leave his father's body when he died. I have no doubt he was talking the truth, my dad is not fanciful.
Her voice is just so soothing and wise, I feel so calm after listening to her. I can't believe this video is almost an hour long, it seemed like 15 minutes!
Thank you for the video. I am a hospital chaplain and have an affinity for helping dying patients. Your podcast has lit a new thought in my mind. I will listen and read and follow this call I feel.
Thank you I am so grateful for hearing this and that it found me. I have been studying Buddhist teachings for 2 decades and at a crossroads of what i want to do next and this sounds like a wonderful path to take. ❤🙏 namaste
I just found your channel and I've enjoy the interviews I've seen so far. I like the serene interview style. Looking forward to seeing more in the future 😊
I wonder where could I listen more to Gen Gomlam . Today's podcast gave me a small purpose, to extract and trow away the negativity from my life. Thank you, both
@danasufaru4763 She’s so inspiring isn’t she! She teaches mainly in Florida but also around the US - there’s a link to her Meditation Centre in the video description - and if you search ‘Gen Gomlam’ there are some other great videos of her online. We do have more episodes with her coming soon, so stay tuned - also check out the other episodes, some amazing stuff there!
Profoundly touched by her words wich I humbly thank in the name of all those who will benefit from my sharing of this podcast. Sincere thanks from the Caracas KTC center. ❤❤❤
What an imspiring interview, especially the insights regarding negativity and positivity plus reminding me to appreciate every single cell in my bofy to infuse love in my entire body.
Bring them all in to my heart That includes everyone Unconditionally Rather than looking to worship false idols, Buddhists seek to understand the way people and themselves think! The way the mind works!
Wonderful interview... We are a divine being having a human experience.. And I will have to say this to the interviewer, you need to have a glass of water for your guests.
@fritzcervz6945 Thank you for your kind message Fritz, and also for your concern for the guest. If you check the wide shot you will see that both host and guest have been provided with glasses of water - they're on the little tables beside them. Gen Gomlam had a cough that day, but was kind enough to do the episode anyway.
I have several conditions and have been told I could suddenly become critical and probably will soon. I think this video is outstanding. I want to learn more about the mind. I want to know this nun's name.
@monaoconnell5650 Im so glad you found this video so helpful. The nun is called Gen Kelsang Gomlam, she teaches in Florida, USA. Please also check the other episodes we’ve released - there’s a lot of great advice in them that may help you keep a peaceful mind as you go through such challenging situations. Best wishes
I read once that when we die we dont really go, we just take on a different form. Thank you for this, I intend to learn as much as I can about the non event that is death
Thank you so much, Gen Gomlam, for this beautiful interview and its meaningful content. Thank you for sharing your story and insight. 🙏🏻 ❤ How inspiring and moving!
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful episode about the death and mind. It’s really inspiring to learn more about the Buddhist science and psychology. ❤
We humans are stupid. Allowing a natural death by turning off machines does not prevent the dying from suffering. As is the case with the nun's story, the dying lived another 27 hours. That's crazy. We prevent our pets from suffering by administering a sedative and sodium pentothal for a timely demise, yet we don't for humans. If I get terminal cancer, the sad part isn't that I will die from cancer, it is that I don't have a way of going with dignity. I have to diy my death to prevent my own suffering.
Magnificent insight, with death in two ways; 21st century, or the original, without interference. Blessings too you, uplifting too- “what is it, that leaves?” Superb interview, inspiring for any human journey. N
The teachings are great, but what amazes me is the aura of honesty she has. Honesty is, in some way, an indication of selflessness/altruism orientation.

Thank you very much. Death is something that many modern ppl don’t want to talk about, but you made it so that it seems logical and helpful to do so.
It's just so important to come to terms with isn't it! Thank you for watching :-)

@zendog8592 thank you for sharing this powerful experience and wisdom. May everyone realise that death is merely a label and always enjoy peace!
Hello zendog8592: your story affected me so I am responding thus: my brother was dying, (badly) a prolonged cancer struggle, not enough pain killers and meds as he was in a third world country and friends took all the guns and ammunition away from the house to stop him killing himself - not that he could get to them as he couldn't walk! In retrospect, I wish I had helped him end his own life, as he had wanted to. It would have been the compassionate thing to do. Instead, I, coward that I am, obeyed the law out of fear and left nature to cruelly take its time and cause him terrible suffering for the next several months. When he died I did not cry, I was literally "all cried out"; I was grateful he didn't have to endure any more pain and for the first time, in what seemed like ages, actually felt relief. Your story touched me very deeply. We will continue to learn life's hard lessons - there must be a reason for it all because otherwise the miracle of life makes no sense at all. I am a great believer that we go on once we leave our bodies to perish. We live in a great mystery.
Deeply inspiring. Beautiful. Thankyou 💛
Thank you Adam - Gen Gomlam is just amazing isn't she!
@@modernbuddhismpodcast - Absolutely! Gen Gonlam sharing her experiences, compassion, and wisdom really gave my faith a big boost. Thank you GG & Adam & MBP Team! This production is awesome. What benefit it will bring. Yay!
What a beautiful conversation. Thank you both.
@nomadartlife So glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you gen Gonlam,
If I ever have to undergo surgery , I’ll do like you , prepare the mind to live or to die, whatever ❤❤❤
Perfect! Thank you for sharing!
This is amazing. Looking forward to the next episode. This made me so confident and inspired
@AQuijanoG So glad you enjoyed! Many more inspiring episodes on their way :-)
One of the most pivotal and powerful interviews I’ve yet listened to…Thank-you ❤
@Indigolyte Really appreciate your comment - thank you!
Very much needed one, loved it all through. How buddhist teaching help's one overcome the haunting fear of death or rather handling it the right way was something nice to listen.
Thanks a lot for this podcast.
@sampathkumar2277 so glad you enjoyed it - do check out our other episodes - lots of gems in all of them.
The story about the dying wife preparing meals for her husband struck me to my core.
@TyroneCLove So glad it moved you like this, Tyrone.
I am actively dying from systemic lupus, in alot of pain. I wish I could speak to you two. Thank you.
Whatever happens going forward, we wish you peace. Also, if you write to podcasts@kadampa.net I can forward any messages to Adam or Gen Gomlam.
Be in Peace you are more than a body and a brain. You as your mind will continue.
Sending you a big warm hug. May you feel warmth and peace, and know you aren’t alone.
No more pains. No more sufferings. Your body system is meant to function without them and it will. Wishing you peace and wellness, even when it seems there's no hope for it anymore.
Very beautiful and inspiring talk. Thank you so much for doing this!
@patdav44 It's a real joy to share these meaningful conversations - many more on the way :-)
Thank you, for sharing your experiences. The caring woman, riddled with cancer, still showed compassion, for her husband -preparing meals, for her husband before she passed. Without drugs, pain free. Strong faith.
@nicholaskearney678 It's such a powerful example isn't it - thanks for commenting, Nicholas
Thank you for this very, very inspiring and engaging conversation sharing so much wisdom and experience.
Our pleasure!
Powerful, compassionate, and insightful talk on death. I absolutely love Gen's energy and her msg on focusing on the mind, the part that lives on. ❤❤
@warsankoshin3465 She’s just so inspiring isn’t she! We have more great episodes coming including more with Gen Gomlam 😊
Thank you for sharing this incredible wisdom :)
These podcasts have been a joy to make - really glad you’re enjoying them.
P.S i also had open heart surgery in 2017 December here in Thailand my surgeon and I talked about everything including life and death he being a Buddhist gave me only good advice and my operation was a success 🙏
@AaAa-hl1zg So glad to hear that! Thank you for sharing 🙏
Love this❤ have a fascination with death since being a child just couldn't work it all out it didn't seem possible to exist and then not do forever, this lady is the right person for hospice care she just has that gentle presence shes wonderful ❤️
@carolinebielby5924 Absolutely agree - she is so gentle, kind and reassuring... and so much wisdom from having been there at those profound moments with many people.
This was very moving, thank you for sharing.
@est-nineteeneightynine You are so welcome
I found Buddhism after a See the Light NDE. ❤. There is no travel time, you’re suddenly there. In the purest light and feeling a love that is unavailable to us in human form. 😊. I wasn’t religious then and certainly not now. But, I know we come back until we get it right. And, you live with the same spirits over and over as well. Your pet was your mother in a past life. Treat them well ❤
@thesjkexperience That’s a very powerful experience - thank you for sharing 🙏!
Humans can only be humans, not animals! All the timsz i came back i was only a human. be humans. I never came back as an anmal. I lived 5 times that i can recall and remember only being a human. Lmbo.
One thing that challenges this idea for me is, how could it be the case that we reincarnate with the same spirits from a previous life, when more and more people are being born on this planet? And why would we just reincarnate on Earth alone when the universe is so unfathomably massive? Wouldn't it be more likely that we would reincarnate in different star systems, on different planets?
my pet is the person i truly love the most.
We come back until we get it right? So, we live this life without any remembrance of a past life, but yet we are punished somehow for something we don't remember? So, should I spank my older children for things they don't remember doing as a toddler? I think the only way we learn from our mistakes is to REMEMBER the mistake so that we don't do it again. Living this life and getting it wrong, dying, and then thrown back in the pit to start over from scratch is a bit extreme, especially if we have a God of unconditional love and forgiveness. Just my opinion.
I love this and am so grateful for this interview and for her and her sharing/teaching!! 🌺🙏
@lmansur1000 So glad you enjoyed it - she’s is so amazing! There are more episodes with Gen Gomlam coming, in the meantime do check out some of our other episodes.
Like a lot of people I have always had a strong fear of dying/sever illness, through your life experiences, questions and observations, I feel much more relaxed like yourself I need to question more. Thank you
@1marybo It's incredible how powerful Gen Gomlam's words are isn't it! So inspiring!
I was there 7.5 years ago. It’s not Halloween, it’s pure light and love.❤️
My dad was with my grandfather when the grandfather died. Dad said he saw a "grey mist" leave his father's body when he died. I have no doubt he was talking the truth, my dad is not fanciful.
Wonderfully uplifting. Thank you so much. ❤
💗🙏🏻🌸 Thank you for this beautiful teaching.
You are so welcome! Many more to come :-)
Beautiful way to start my day, thank you, you two lovely people
@dgarcia930 You are so kind
Her voice is just so soothing and wise, I feel so calm after listening to her. I can't believe this video is almost an hour long, it seemed like 15 minutes!
@ruruama3666 that is such a beautiful thing to say - thank you so much!
Thank for sharing your wisdom. ❤🙏
such a joy to share - and so much more on the way!
Thank you for the video. I am a hospital chaplain and have an affinity for helping dying patients. Your podcast has lit a new thought in my mind. I will listen and read and follow this call I feel.

@coolbreeze5683 Thank you so much for this delightful feedback - many great episodes on their way :-)
I wonder where could I listen more to Gen Gomlam . Today's podcast gave me a small purpose, to extract and trow away the negativity from my life. Thank you, both
@danasufaru4763 She’s so inspiring isn’t she! She teaches mainly in Florida but also around the US - there’s a link to her Meditation Centre in the video description - and if you search ‘Gen Gomlam’ there are some other great videos of her online. We do have more episodes with her coming soon, so stay tuned - also check out the other episodes, some amazing stuff there!
What a great session. Thank you for sharing this video with us.
@ShimmerBodyCream Our pleasure!
I was deeply inspired by this video, thank you so much!

@grahamrobson998 She’s amazing isn’t she! Thank you for your beautiful comment.

@chandramerod160 Thank you for your kind words, Chandra :-)
Amazing insights
Bring them all in to my heart
That includes everyone
Unconditionally
Rather than looking to worship false idols, Buddhists seek to understand the way people and themselves think! The way the mind works!
It’s such a powerful science of the mind and Gen Gomlam is living proof of how effective it is! Thank you for your comment.
Wonderful interview...
We are a divine being having a human experience..
And I will have to say this to the interviewer, you need to have a glass of water for your guests.
@fritzcervz6945 Thank you for your kind message Fritz, and also for your concern for the guest. If you check the wide shot you will see that both host and guest have been provided with glasses of water - they're on the little tables beside them. Gen Gomlam had a cough that day, but was kind enough to do the episode anyway.
Thank you ! What great wisdom…
This helps greatly…I can feel it
I feel positive relief 🙏
So glasd you've got such benefit from this episode! Many more to come!
Appreciate you so much. This is such a gift
@harshakarunaratne4048 Thank you for your beautiful comment - we're loving sharing these amazing conversations!
I am so moved ... beyond measure. Thank you
@aislingbooks That is such a beautiful comment - thank you Aisling.
Thank you so much for this powerful wisdom and experience ❤️
You are so welcome
I have several conditions and have been told I could suddenly become critical and probably will soon. I think this video is outstanding. I want to learn more about the mind. I want to know this nun's name.
@monaoconnell5650 Im so glad you found this video so helpful. The nun is called Gen Kelsang Gomlam, she teaches in Florida, USA. Please also check the other episodes we’ve released - there’s a lot of great advice in them that may help you keep a peaceful mind as you go through such challenging situations. Best wishes
Resonates with me. I live with seniors living into death as day goes by
thank you for sharing!
I read once that when we die we dont really go, we just take on a different form.
Thank you for this, I intend to learn as much as I can about the non event that is death
@bshive7669 that's very deep, a lot of layers to that thought - thank you for sharing
Thank you so much, Gen Gomlam, for this beautiful interview and its meaningful content.
Thank you for sharing your story and insight. 🙏🏻 ❤
How inspiring and moving!
Such a pleasure to share!
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful episode about the death and mind. It’s really inspiring to learn more about the Buddhist science and psychology.
❤
@g_lhamo Thank you so much for this lovely comment - do check out our other episodes too!
Thank you for this
Such a pleasure! This episode is great and so many more on the way!
That was absolutely beautiful, as was your Guest.
@123cache123 Thank you kindly!
What a wonderful talk ❤❤❤ thank you
@swapnabombay Thank you for watching!
How beautiful & meaningful
Great teacher ❤ tuve la gran fortuna de recibir sus enseñanzas 🙏🏻
A riveting discussion.
So glad you enjoyed it Rebecca - Do check out our other episodes - there are gems in all of them!
We humans are stupid. Allowing a natural death by turning off machines does not prevent the dying from suffering. As is the case with the nun's story, the dying lived another 27 hours. That's crazy. We prevent our pets from suffering by administering a sedative and sodium pentothal for a timely demise, yet we don't for humans. If I get terminal cancer, the sad part isn't that I will die from cancer, it is that I don't have a way of going with dignity. I have to diy my death to prevent my own suffering.
Thx for your Insight. Can you explain your comment further. Especially the Second Part
Coming home....nga mihi nui to Gen Kelsang Gomlan.
“Keeping your mind positive keeps you from suffering”
@kristinlaviolette9119 So true!
Magnificent insight, with death in two ways; 21st century, or the original, without interference. Blessings too you, uplifting too- “what is it, that leaves?” Superb interview, inspiring for any human journey. N
@nicholaskearney678 Really appreciate your comments, Nicholas, thank you for watching.
Thank you beautiful soul for sharing this celebration of life/death blessings of the mind that we behold in each now moment ✨️🫂🤍
Thank you for such a beautiful comment!
Fantastically beautiful teaching ❤
@leonarda6529able It really is isn’t it! Thank you for commenting 😊
Beautiful. Thank you so much.
@CK-pf6nn Such a pleasure to share - thank you for watching 😊
The teachings are great, but what amazes me is the aura of honesty she has. Honesty is, in some way, an indication of selflessness/altruism orientation.
@juanromero7189 That's a really beautiful comment, Juan, and so true!
