Interesting Buddhist Conference on Scientific Research into Death
An interesting conference was held this past
December at a Buddhist temple in Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia.
Titled Closer to Reality: Understanding Death and Beyond, the conference
included sessions such as "Out-of-Body Experience and Near-Death
Experience" and "Past Life Experience Through Children's Spontaneous
Recall."
Anyone who has gone looking for solid information about NDEs
knows how difficult it can be to find. Now IANDS has an online answer. The most
powerful search tool about NDEs is being offered as a free benefit with
every IANDS membership at the Supporting and Professional levels or higher.
Near-death experiences continue to take worldwide center
stage as the discussion of mind-body issues heats up.
Major international media outlets have reported this past
week on a large new research study on NDEs being spearheaded by Dr. Sam Parnia from the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom, who is currently a Fellow at New York's Weill Cornell Medical Center. Time Magazine describes the study, called AWARE (AWAreness during REsuscitation), in their current edition, which can be read at
