ANNOUNCEMENTS

• A “must read” new book: The Buddha in Hell and Other Alarms: Distressing Near-Death Experiences in Perspective by Nancy Evans Bush. Behind all the joyful personal stories of being close to death and going to heaven, there is a rarely discussed fact: that a significant minority of near-death experiences are unpleasant. Please read this. One out of 7 in my research had more frightening or hellish experiences than heavenly, a few of them were children.
