Life after death ?

This is a very hot topic ? But why ? HAve you ever wondered what happens after death ?
it is too important a topic to brush aside,now shall we see waht people have been thinking and doing with this issue ?
Reincarnation theories i.e ,rebirth are popular in Eastern religions as well as the many New Age variants. It seems people are comfortable with the idea of another chance to return and figure things out. Some nihilist thinkers like charuvakas believe that death is the absolute end; but contrary to what many might think, most people believe that death is not the end. In some shape or form we go on. "...There is rebirth of character, but no transmigration of a self. Thy thought-forms reappear, but there is no ego-entity transferred. The stanza uttered by a teacher is reborn in the scholar who repeats the words.
Only through ignorance and delusion do men indulge in the dream that their souls are separate and self-existent entities. Thy heart, O Brahman, is cleaving still to self; thou art anxious about heaven but thou seekest the pleasures of self in heaven, and thus thou canst not see the bliss of truth and the immortality of truth."-Buddha
Scientists investigating 'near-death' experiences say they have found evidence to suggest that consciousness can continue to exist after the brain has ceased to function.
The researchers interviewed 63 patients who had survived heart attacks within a week of the experience.
Of these 56 had no recollection of the period of unconsciousness they experienced whilst, effectively, clinically dead.

However, seven had memories, four of which counted as near-death experiences.

Now tell me -do you believe in life after death?
