Dharma Night: Things and Consciousness

In this concluding talk Vaddhaka looks at the nature of things and at the nature of consciousness. He brings in views from various scientists and philosophers, and discusses their relevance for what might happen to consciousness after the death of the physical body. Vaddhaka finishes with his personal reflections on Sangharakshita’s notion of ‘cosmic going for refuge’ and its relevance for what happens after death.

--------------------------------------------

Is there life after death? The Buddha taught rebirth, but what exactly did he teach? What’s the evidence for rebirth? Do we have to believe in rebirth to be a Buddhist? What can modern writers, philosophers and scientists add to the debate around life after death?

In this series of six talks Vaddhaka will guide us on an exploration of these and other questions to help us develop our own beliefs and views on what might happen when we die.
