"What is Thukdam?" His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama was asked.
He replies "At the time of death, the heart beating stop, brain dead, but still the subtle level of consciousness is still there. There has been 30-40 cases of Thukdam recorded in India for over the past 50years. The longest being 4 weeks so far."
