BEAR: Is it then taught that
some aspects of the mind
are independent of the brain cells or the body? DALAI LAMA: Ultimately, I do not know. The most subtle level of consciousness can be separate from the body, but we cannot call that subtlest level of mind the human mind because 'human mind' is a relative term used only in relation to a human body. |
