11:TheLongJourney-DeathandBeyond
'All know is that I must die, but what I know least ts this very death which I cannot escape.'
It is in their explanations of death and of what lies beyond or through death that religions are most at variance.
John Bowker listens as Hindus. Sikhs, and Buddhists talk about their different beliefs in re-birth and re-incarnation while Jews, Christians and Muslims talk about the final judgement of God beyond this present life.
