Death is just like going to sleep.. And then we are going to wake up. The way, in which we wake up, has to do with how we have lived today.
In this podcast Professor Thurman offers a discourse on the topic of death and dying: what is happening, when we die, what follows it? Can we take rebirth where we like, and what is the difference between conscious and unconscious dying?
The episode was recorded on April 24, 2015 at the Open Center conference “The Art of Dying: Spiritual, Scientific and Practical Approaches to Living and Dying”.
