The science of the Body of Light in Tibetan, Sufi & Christianity
IF one can go without a single negative thought for between 13–30 yrs, say the Tibetan’s, one’s body upon death will shrink, sometimes leaving only hair & teeth, and sometimes dissolve into pure light, achieving a “Rainbow Body”.
The physical elements of the body are said to fully revert into what are called the five lights of jñāna, which is their original form.
Head of the Kagyu Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, the Karmapa shared the same status and importance as the Dalai Lama.
Dr. David Levy, his attending Doctor gave the following report upon his heart failure on the monitors. The medical team tried to revive Karmapa, but gave up after about 45 minutes. “We began to pull out the tubing, but I suddenly saw his blood pressure was 140 over 80. A nurse screamed, ‘he has a good pulse!’” Levy said.
Levy said, “it was clearly the greatest miracle I had ever seen.”
