The Afterlife
Sound & Spirit heartily approves of Tracey Rich's site Judaism 101 - "an online encyclopedia of Judaism, covering Jewish beliefs, people, places, things, language, scripture, holidays, practices and customs." For those interested in our program "The Afterlife", we point to the section on Olam ha Ba [i.e. "The World to Come"]The University of Evansville's site Exploring Plato's Dialogues includes the text of the Phaedo, the dialogue in which Socrates converses about the nature of the body, the soul and Death while he waits for the poison.
Buddhist nun Choying Drolma spoke with Ellen Kushner about her beliefs and Buddhist traditions about death. Choying joined Steve Tibbetts for a beautiful recording of Tibetan Buddhist chants on an album titled Chö (meaning "cutting", a reference to particular Buddhist practices.) Learn about her story and more about the album.
Morgana's Observatory, a site dedicated to "Ancient Prophecies and Universal Myths", offers this collection of Afterlife Myths for you to explore.
Last, but definitely not least, is Paul Harrison's personal site where from the perspective of "Scientific Pantheism" he offers an analysis of this perennial issue, The Afterlife: false promises, real problems"
