The main character Thomas in Eternal life is a successful American businessman, also a confidant of author Nguyen Phong. In part 1, Thomas has lived through mystical lives, from the mighty Atlantis civilization to the ancient Egyptian kingdom of powerful Pharaohs to modern-day America. In part 2, Thomas continues his human journey through three lives Assyrian, Greek and modern times with a mysterious colleague from past lives, Kris. The incredible interlacing stories of the two easily explain the Buddhist lessons – from attachment to cause and effect, reincarnation… Attachment remains after death The story goes that, one day Thomas was visiting the old house of an old friend, this businessman suddenly saw a strange old man, turned out to be a spirit that passed away decades ago. This accountant’s soul implored Thomas to fulfill one wish: Destroy the papers recording the wrong payments of the former owner, because of sudden death the accountant was unable to do so. . “It’s been more than 80 years, I still have that in my heart and have never dared to leave this house. I have to stay here to keep the notebook, to avoid it falling into the hands of others,” the old man said. That is, just because of an unfinished task that his spirit could not escape forever. Thomas’s strange encounter with the old accountant’s ghost can help us figure out where we are in the river of destiny. Meeting is destiny, working with the boss is life; spending in the dark is the cause, and the notebook is the effect. The old accountant’s attachment is that the boss’s secrets should not be kept, secrets that can affect the reputation of the person he has served. It has become a stored part of the store consciousness of this life. “When a person dies, a person leaves the physical body and exists in another form called the bardo or spirit body. This is the intermediate state between death and the next rebirth. The only thing that really exists is the store consciousness, which is the basis of existence, the foundation of all consciousness. Every thought, word, and action in a lifetime, whether good or bad, creates a cause, or a seed, which is stored in the store-consciousness, never to be lost,” the book explains. Eternal life, part 1, 2 – Author: Nguyen Phong Sow cause and reap fruit Human life is like a dream, it’s too short for us to stop and reflect on what causes cause and effect, and then steps into the spirit world and the rest is just attachment. Meetings in Eternal life Part 2 is sometimes too mundane, like what we have been going through. But reading until the end, we realize, it turns out that every daily action can cause cause and effect, which no one can control. Thomas and Don C (the new owner of the accountant’s ghost house) make friends from a co-worker relationship that is also a result of cause and effect for both of them. Thomas meeting the spirit is a part of life, releasing the responsibility for the spirit to return peace to the Don C family is a part of picking the fruit. But it is also possible that Thomas is spreading past cause and effect, or new cause in the future. Still follow Eternal life In part 2, when cause and effect will bear fruit depends on many other factors such as inspiration, subsequent behavior and merit of each person. Causality interdependence manifests: “If this exists, the other is formed. When this arises, the other arises. If one does not exist, the other does not exist. When this is destroyed, the other is destroyed.” That is also the fate, the predestined birth. Our small actions every day can make a huge connection over time. The Mission of Reincarnation We humans are inherently sentient and as in theory Dependent origination of Buddhism, one can become entangled in the cycle of samsara. A continuous cycle of cause and effect can then be transmigrated to the six paths of reincarnation: heaven, human, Atula, animal, hungry ghosts, and hell. Thomas’s colorful journey back to his past life, through “the Mesopotamian deserts of Assyria to ancient Greece, Persia, and India through the conquests of Alexander the Great” has explained us better about this. the reincarnation of a human being. Thomas and his mysterious friend Kris have cultivated together for many lifetimes, although the path is not the same, but the predestined connection has caused them to meet again to complete their previous promises and missions. Or Thomas reunited with friends from past lives to relearn lessons to be learned. If there is a cause, there must be a result, so two people keep borrowing and repaying each other, lasting for many lifetimes without end. Such is the complexity of cause and effect in samsara. And each person’s task is to live a life that opens their hearts to everyone, develops love, and learns the lessons they need to learn, “instead of just worrying about beautifying the body, which is now dead and floating. life after life in the endless stream of samsara”, as Thomas explained.

Cryogenic technology and the promise of bringing the dead back to life (Photo: Internet) Cryogenics, also known as cryopreservation, is the technique of freezing a dead body or body parts to protect them from decomposition. Proponents of cryogenics see it as a magical technology to bypass death and even reach immortality. They decided to freeze and preserve the body intact, hoping to wait until science developed enough to revive the dead body and cure whatever caused them to die before. . (Photo: Internet) To date, more than 350 dead people worldwide have been preserved at low temperatures at one of four facilities providing this service: two in the US (Alcor Life Extension Foundation, Arizona and Cryonics Institute, Michigan State); 1 in Russia (KrioRus company), and 1 in Portugal (also Alcor lab). About 1,000 people have signed up for the post-mortem resurrection service. In this list, there are famous figures such as Britney Spears, Simon Cowell, Larry King, Don Laughlin (a gambling business magnate in the US) or director Charles Matthau… How are cryogenics performed? Legally, deep freezing is only performed when the patient is dead. The ideal time to start a cryogenics procedure is about 2 minutes after the patient’s heart stops and no more than 15 minutes afterward. First, the body is gradually cooled with ice and injected with chemicals to reduce clotting. After the temperature drops to near 0°C, blood is drawn to be replaced with a solution intended to protect tissues and organs. (Photo: Internet) The technicians also injected the body with another solution to prevent ice crystals from forming, then continued to cool the body down to -130°C. As a final step, the body is moved to a container of liquid nitrogen. There, it will be cooled down to -196°C. Cost of cryogenics The fee that a person has to pay if they want to deep freeze the whole body at the Cryonics Institute is from about 35,000 USD (about 800 million VND). While if you do the procedure at KrioRus in Russia, it will cost you 37,600 USD (about 860 million VND). At Alcor, the cost of preserving a person is 220,000 USD (equivalent to 5 billion VND), if you want to save more, just preserve the brain for about 80,000 USD (approximately 1.8 billion VND). This cost does not include the annual maintenance fee, which means that the longer you keep it, the more money you have to spend. (Photo: Internet) chances of success Many scientists believe that the chance to revive a dead person is almost zero. Because the body’s organs, especially vital organs such as the heart, lungs, brain, and kidneys, must have been damaged when freeze. Until now, the damage that has occurred and resulted in death is irreversible. Due to the severe damage to internal organs and the brain, the law requires technical participants to be scientifically dead, which makes it almost impossible to revive a dead person. (Photo: Internet) Alcor doesn’t offer a clear technique to resurrect someone who’s been dead too long, or a technique under development in the future to bring the dead back to life. A very vague technology on Alcor’s website is described that they will use molecular nanotechnology with microscopic nano-sized robots that can replace damaged chromosomes and can restore individual cells. . It is worth mentioning that Alcor has not researched this technology, in fact they only trade in freezing and preserving the dead and no one is responsible for the patient’s promise to revive. Alcor’s main research is only on techniques to preserve the dead as best as possible. The prospect of resurrecting a frozen body has so far been quite remote and unrealistic. And many in the scientific community even consider this to be unethical.

Living in a clean city, the mother’s decision to bring her children to the hometown has faced many objections from relatives and family, but Jane still insists on doing her own will.

Jane Beck spent 2 million dong to buy a shabby old house for her children to live in – Artwork.

A single mother puts four children in the back of a caravan (mobile garage) that travels nearly 300 kilometers from Berkshire county to western Wales (England) to start a new life.

However, everything was not as Jane had imagined, the house was so shabby that it made her feel discouraged.

Jane is currently the owner of a quilting business.

“It was really dark during that time, and my courage almost hit the limit,” says Jane. The first night was very cold. My mother and I sleep on a mattress on the floor in the front bedroom. In the days that followed, it felt like we were lost in the 1930s. There was no electricity or water, the roof was hole-ridden and the toilet was outside. There was even a stream of water flowing from the backyard, through the house, and straight to the main door. The inside of the house is dark. The garden was very large, with yew and laurel trees obscuring the small windows of the house.

And then mother and daughter Jane literally got through the dark days. She gradually developed a company specializing in the production of cotton and hired farms to raise sheep for fur.

When the job was fine, Jane began to renovate the house. She did not work at once, but kept doing small things. Up to now, 22 years have passed, the house has been put on a new shirt and also, its value has been raised significantly.

In February last year, the house was valued at 450,000 pounds (equivalent to 13.3 billion dong). This price is 7,627 times the initial amount that Jane spent to buy the house.

Jane said: “I paid £ 59 for the house in 1997, when people thought it was too expensive for a country house. It was valued at around £ 450,000 last February. before I create the landscape for the back garden.

The inside of the house had been refurbished by Jane.

The house is said to have been around since 1870, so Jane wants to preserve its inherent ancient features.

Now, the house has a sun terrace, a hot tub and a sauna hut in the back garden, and Jane’s favorite area is the kitchen.

“I love the light of the evening shining through my front window. In summer there are always flowers from the garden there and Binkie, my little dog, likes to sit in the sun and look out the window,” she said.

Jane runs her blanket business in a garden tin shack called Ty Zinc – she sits there and sells her products around the world.
