" "Try to draw an odor using crayons. You can’t even begin to try, no matter how many crayons you have in your box. That’s what it’s like describing NDEs with words. No matter how many words you use, you can’t really describe what an NDE is like. Lying awake in the dark, I tried forming sounds that would explain. Maybe music would do what speech could not. After all, no one can describe the beauty of certain sounds, sounds that move us to action or to tears. Yes, maybe music was the only form of communication that could explain the feelings of peace that never left.

Additional quotes by Bruce Greyson
More important to me, however, was a comment by the Dalai Lama himself about the difference between Western science and Buddhism. Both disciplines, he argued, are based on observation and logical deduction, and both give experience precedence over belief in their quest for the truth. But, he added, Western scientists seem to seek understanding about how the world works in order to change and control the natural world. That is, the goal of most scientists is to gain mastery over our environment. Buddhists, on the other hand, seek understanding about how the world works in order to live more harmoniously with it.
