Not Telling
Aj Buddhadasa liked to remind his readers/listeners that the essence of self/non-self existence was emptiness.

#3787996 Buddhism And Near-Death Experiences
Posted

I would like to look at near dear experience. In fact I would like to do so using the experience of George Ritchie as written down in his book : "Return from tomorrow". At that time this was one of the best recorded near dead experiences.
In my view this shows the continueing of the Self as the centre of awareness even when people actually do not live in a physical body anymore.
To me this is one of the many proofs of continueing awareness of the I.
I wonder what Buddhisme is telling about near dead experiences and I wonder if buddhists study about these experiences.
There are many of them, thousands just read the books of Elisabth Kubler Ross and there are more and more people telling about this.
How do Buddhists explain this, and how would they explain experience of George Ritchie?

I am interested in looking at the position of the woman in relation to Buddhisme.
Since, in normal situation, so in general, reincarnating also means changing in gender, leading to a life being a man folowing up by a life being a woman, I wonder what in essence is the difference.
What is the difference between a male Buddhist and a female Buddhist?
As humans we come from the spiritual world and untill a short time before birth there is no gender situation.
The gender situation comes to a materialization when a part of the spiritual energy of the spiritual entity does materialise in a certain gender while the other part stays spiritual.
This is apparent in women having sexual organs turned inside with a psyche turned outside (woman can be hysterically), while men are having their sexual organs turned outside and their psyche turned inside (men can be very depressed).
But there are more observations to substantiate this view.
So, being from the same spiritual world, the world of absolute awareness, I wonder why there is this difference between male munks and female munks,( in this contribution restricted to the Thai situation)?
As Buddha emphasized, every human , male and woman can come to enlightment.
But even without Buddha telling so, it is obvious male and woman can both come to enlightment.
