Hello, everyone.
Has anyone heard of this guy, Dr. Tan Kheng Khoo, or read the material on his website? I stumbled upon it today, and found lots of relevant material. It's similar to what folks are into here, but not all of it is in agreement with the views I encounter on this site and the DhO, making it even more worthwhile to those of us who frequent those communities, IMHO. See for yourself.
In particular, the section, "what happens after enlightenment?" reminded me a lot of what Daniel, Kenneth, and others describe. But he doesn't describe things exactly like any one of our friends in particular. But, don't take my word for it, take a look.
Here are a few pertinent quotes from that section:
"The jnani [enlightened being] in all probability will not be reborn again when he dies, unless he wants to come back as a Bodhisattva. The psychosomatic organism has its own inherent characteristics, which are derived from its samskaras and genetics. When the organism is born angry, he may remain angry throughout life whether enlightened or not. However, he does not carry the anger over even to the next second. He is very natural and spontaneous. "
"Everything in the universe is powered or activated by the same electricity (Consciousness). All there is, is Consciousness. Every mineral, vegetable, animal and human has the same Consciousness. It is only the human that has '˜self-consciousness', and therefore he suffers the most, because of his thinking mind. With enlightenment and the destruction of the thinking mind, there are no more concepts with its trail of fears, doubts and worries, because the '˜me' is not present."
