Is there an Afterlife?

Vajragoni: Many believe that the current state of affairs in the saha realm has reached an unprecedented low. Humanity appears to have descended to a point of despair from which recovery seems impossible. The situation is deemed worse than that of Sodom and Gomorrah. The natural order has been violated and sullied. What is the most prudent course of action? One should prepare for the afterlife, as it looms on the horizon. However, what exactly constitutes the afterlife? Is it a specific location, or does it represent a continuation of an individual’s consciousness in some form after death? Mainstream religions assert that it is a definitive and eternal place, while other belief systems suggest it serves merely as a temporary phase before reincarnation. Our objective here is to examine the concept of the afterlife through a Lankavatarian perspective. In this context, we will discover that the most effective preparation for the afterlife is, paradoxically, a non-preparation, a notion that is echoed in both the Lankavatara and Diamond Sutras. read more

Preparation for the Afterlife

Posted on November 2, 2022 by Vajragoni

Many consider that events in the saha realm have never been worse. The gods of many realms are not pleased. Humanity has reached a terrible low from which there is no return. It’s worse than Sodom and Gomorrah ever was. The natural order has been defiled and dragged through the mud. Best recourse? Make preparations for the afterlife because it’s due on the horizon. And yet, what is the afterlife? Is it a particular place, or more that an individual’s stream of consciousness continues in some form after death? Mainline religions maintain that it is a given and permanent locale, while other traditions maintain that it is only a temporary respite before being reincarnated again. It is not the purpose of this blog series to catalog all the sundry interpretations but rather to study it from a Lankavatarian lens. In this vein we shall come to see that the best preparation for the afterlife is a non-preparation, something that both the Lankavatara and Diamond Sutras share in common. It is perhaps the most sane observation (given current events) of our subject matter. It’s also interesting that this series commences on what Christian Religions refer to as All Souls Day, or the Day of the Dead in more indigenous religions—both commemorating the journey to the afterlife by all the dearly departed, and also one in which the dead can also communicate with the living in some form or fashion. Tis the season to look for a transcendent dimension that will point the way out of a world gone insane. Our series will be forthcoming very soon. read more
