Faqir Chand Meets the Tibetan Book of the Dead

Chand seems to understand one thing very well; his lack of understanding. He thinks that many things in life are created by our minds and come from within. He believed early in life that he had visions of Gods, or gurus, that helped him through his life. However, after realizing that they had nothing to do with it he came to the conclusion that these visions were all creations of his own mind. He wanted help and the answer was in his mind all along, he just chose to reveal them to himself in the form on something or someone else.

He believed that we get to attached to things in life and let them interfere with our lives. All of our dreams, visions, or apparitions are just manifestations of our minds attachment to other. To better understand the truth we need to free ourselves from the attachment to others. But where will this lead us to when we die? This is one thing that he was unable to understand or explain. All he knew was that he did not know what was to come. Whether it would be cessation of existence or it would be dreams of things he was attached to in life or it would be something completely different. He did not know.
