What happens at death? (Gnosticism)

(Dalai Lama) What happens to the "soul" after death?

Death is not final but only a transition

• Materialism, which the Buddha called a pernicious wrong view, says when we die from here, everything ends, we dissolve, there is no result of actions (karma); life had no meaning, and everything is lost. This is the Annihilationist view, the fear or relief that we will be annihilated at death when we will not.
• Escape the rebirth trap of samsara now before it's too late.
• Eternalism is what the Buddha called a pernicious wrong view that takes the other extreme -- that we do not die at death but persist and go on. This is closer to the (conventional) truth, as anyone who has a near-death experience will realize, but it is wrong in assuming that an eternal "soul" or "substance" carries on. An impersonal process carries on, a chain of causation, so that karma bears fruit. And while the person who passes from here and rearises (reappears) hereafter are not identical, so there is no "identity" to cling to even now at this moment. What is there? There are the ever-changing Five Aggregates clung to as self, dependently arisen, and hurtling toward destruction, dissolution, disappearance at every moment. There is nothing to cling to, but the aggregates nevertheless grasp and cling.
• As with Gnosticism, this needs to be realized while we are yet alive, or the process will continue, and we will simply be reborn again and again and again.

Gnostics, what goes on, what remains?

(Gnostic Talk) I've stopped calling it "death" because the Gnostics had a completely different word for it. What is the Pistis Sophia? (It is comforting to think that Jesus Christ/Saint Issa understood this, but sad that modern sectarian Christians do not.

We won't be judged after death

Dalai Lama, what happens after death?

(The Dalai Lama)

One world, many faiths

The 14th Dalai Lama, more a Hindu Mahayana Buddhist teacher preaching Tibetan Vajrayana than Buddhism, demonstrates a poor grasp of what the historical Buddha taught about "self" (anatta).

What Hinduism calls the soul/self or Ātman (Pali Atta, Ātman (Hinduism Buddhified), what to followers of the pre-Hindu Old Vedic Religion (the Brahmin priests' Brahmanism) is ultimately the same as Brahman (GOD), comparing drops of water to the vast ocean they merge with and ultimately return to after experiencing a sense of separation. The historical Buddha did not talk like this at all.

(Little Light of Wisdom) The one bad habit the Buddha feared most

ANY explanation of what happens to the "self" (soul, ego, personality, essence of a person) after death (indeed of what happens in this very life from moment to moment) must include reference and a discussion of Dependent Origination. For what arises and what seems to arise is not the same; similarly, what passes away and what seems to pass away is not the same.

The one bad habit the Buddha feared most
(Little Light of Wisdom) Dec. 6, 2025: In this episode we explore a powerful teaching the Buddha gave to his son, Rahula, now a young monk. He used a simple glass of water and a royal war elephant. Together we learn:

• Why the Buddha said there is one bad habit that opens the door to every other bad action
• How an empty glass shows what happens to our good qualities when we lie
• How a king’s elephant teaches us about trust, courage, and honesty
• Why lying creates confusion, blame, and karmic trouble in our lives
• How telling the truth protects our heart, our friendships, and our future
