(2). The Three Worlds

I was in so much pain that I could hardly sleep. But that was an unusual day when suddenly I felt very sleepy and dozed off in the middle of the day. I remember hearing a voice speaking to me in the dream. I wasn’t scared because I was prepared for death for some time and I thought ok this was it.

“I’m going to shut down all your senses now, one by one.” The voice said.

“It’s okay.” I replied.

They started to turn off my sense of sight, and I couldn’t see anything then even though it was broad daylight. I closed my eyes.

“We are going to shut down your sense of hearing.”

Then I couldn’t hear a thing. One by one, my senses were shut down until I felt nothing. I was conscious but I felt nothing. Only peace. No pain.

I thought, “If I really die like this, that wasn’t too bad. It was quick.”

I felt very relaxed and peaceful. Then I saw a golden light, I followed it to a place I had never seen before. I could see my own body and there were three spirits around me. I was shocked as a Buddhist, that they didn’t look like Buddha, but Jesus. They had long blond hair, and their eyes looked different, bigger than ours. They were in all white gowns and shoes. They all looked alike but not the same.

“Why am I seeing Jesus? Are you kidding me? How can this be?”

At that moment, I thought that was a crazy dream. I had always been a Buddhist and it would be impossible that Jesus appeared in such life-and-death moment. I now know they were actually supreme gods and celestial spirits from the upperworld of the three worlds.
