I’m not Buddhist, is this content still appropriate for me?
Andrew is a student and follower of many wisdom traditions, and believes that no one has a patent on truth. His primary scholarship in the study of spiritual preparation for death and dying has been the bardo teachings of Tibetan Buddhism. However, Andrew’s teaching approach also draws from psychology, philosophy, medicine, and modern science.
Andrew is sensitive to the idea that cultural differences and personal idiosyncrasies generate a variety of experience at the end of life. Why would a Christian or Muslim, with very different beliefs, experience death the same way as a Buddhist? In “Breaking the Circle: Death and the Afterlife in Buddhism”, author Carl B. Becker writes: “The afterlife is culturally relative insofar as its imagery is projected by the perceiver, and the perceiver has been conditioned by the culture in which he was educated.”
While the Tibetans have breathtaking resources that easily translate from their tradition into our own, modern Tibetan masters admit to instances of cultural insularity and peculiarity. The issue of universal truth vs. cultural vicissitude is present anytime teachings migrate from an ancient and foreign culture into a modern one. This is something each person has to wrestle with as they plunge into the bardo teachings.
