I think the Tibetan Book of the Dead knows what happens. I prefer the Robert Thurman translation.

@hunkalove Do you find this depiction of death favorable? As in would you want this experience for yourself?

@Ananke i don't think it is favorable or unfavorable. Like most things in Buddhism, it just is.

@hunkalove Then if you were able to choose this type of death/afterlife or not, would you choose it?

@Ananke I don't think there is any choice involved.
