Can you show me what the Buddha said about antarabhava?Originally posted by An Eternal Now:There are many different cases pertaining to this. Some of them who are attached will remain in the body and not be able to leave, whereas certain ppl their 7th consciousness leaves the body very quickly or immediately.. which is why many people experience NDE witness the whole medical procedures from OUTSIDE the body... in the form of the 'transient-invisible-being' (zhong ying sheng), or antarabhava.
The citations of the antarabhava can be found in several Mahayana sutras, like Ksitigarbha Sutra, Amitabha Sutra, etc (sinweiy could tell us more?), and several commentaries like the 'Essay on the Meaning of Mahayana' (da cheng yi zhang), in Vajrayana it is clearly described in the Tibetan Book of the Dead, and there are also several Pali Suttas which described the Anatarabhava.Originally posted by marcteng:Can you show me what the Buddha said about antarabhava?

Most of them should have left within 8 hours. Only in some cases will it be extended to days.Originally posted by Isis:Less than 24 hours ...
