#Thukdam
“Svyatoslav Medvedev, founder of the Institute of the Human Brain [said] that from the forensic perspective, the bodies of meditators in thukdam are “quite different from the ordinary process of someone undergoing the normal process of death.”

Like how though

you're the cat's perfected thukdam, warm at the heart-center for 3 weeks after the eeg flatline, while the vet schedules and reschedules a cremation

you're the cat's record thukdam before the oceanic bardo of interconnectedness. you're the multitudinous omni-pajamas with a hologram pressed into the silk

you're the bee's corbiculae. you're the 3rd heart of an octopus. you're the viper's pit organs. you're a cat's 9th thukdam. you're the best thing since newton sliced up daylight

A beautiful and informative article about a remarkable yogini, who remained in the state of thukdam for nine days.

Woot!! One of my favorite people has joined Bluesky - follow @tawnitidwell.bsky.social if you're interested in any of the following: Sowa Rigpa and Tibetan Medicine, #tibetanbuddhism, biocultural anthropology, wilderness survival and tracking, and research on consciousness after death via thukdam!

Kyabjé Tenga Rinpoche entered paranirvana at the age of 81, in the early hours of March 30, 2012. After his death, he remained, like many other masters, in a state of post-mortem meditation called Thukdam, which in his case lasted three and a half days, or exactly 108 hours.

A most fascinating note was reading answers to your prompts, fav is Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche entering state of thukdam at death.😳 you've opened so much. I also see MingyurRinpoche holds back alot in his general school but it lays the platform of vajrayana. Wow. thanks for the inquiries & your insight🐼🙏

#death #dying: Thukdam "the clear light state"

" [people] in the process of dying...are #beyonddeath ... some residual quality of awareness that’s still present, even though the heart has stopped beating"
