Navigating Death and the Question of Rebirth

Date: 2024-06-20 Thursday

For those of you interested in near-death experiences, and the evidence they offer about continuity of consciousness after this life, I'm happy to share that near-death experiencer Eben Alexander joined with the two monks of Clear Mountain Monastery for an unusual online Q & A. The two monks of Clear Mountain Monastery - Ajahn Kovilo and Ajahn Nisabho - are amazing beings in their own right, so this should be a fascination conversation.

What he shares will mesh with the June 20 session of Eastside Insight Meditation, when we will be exploring multiple aspects of the fact of death. In particular we’ll be exploring these two seemingly contradictory poles: On the  one hand the urgency to progress on the path as much as possible in this lifetime, and on the other hand the seeming boundlessness of many lifetimes ahead.

Eben is a former neurosurgeon who had a very deep near death experience after several days in a coma when his brain was, according to medical instruments, offline.
