Venerable Huei Kai, who heads up Nan Hua University's Department of Life and Death Studies, says that in addition to eliminating peoples 'fear of death, NDEs make them aware that death is the doorway to another life. "We must therefore live sustainably, and begin preparing [for the reality of death] at the earliest possible moment," he says.
南華大學生死學研究所所長釋慧開表示，認識瀕死經驗，除了可以解除人們對死亡的恐懼，更重要的意義，在於體認到死亡是開啟另一道生命之門的樞紐，因此「生命需要永續經營、及早規劃」。
