Consciousness...'Death is not final in Buddhism. Consciousness continues."<br /><br />I hope that is true, because I warm towards Buddhism in many ways but not its nihilism. This part of Buddhism gets difficult to understand but it seems to be based around each person's personal experience. They say the personality, or ego, does not survive and that makes sense. But it is hard to imagine objective consciousness, that there can be consciousness with an individual sensing it.
