What do you think happens after death?

[RichardGv]

A man asked a famed Japanese monk what will happen after one's death, and the monk replied: "Try it yourself".

I think that's illegal, here. And it sure would hurt, I suppose..

Hmm, in eastern culture it's not that bad... We actually consider that a very wise answer. There are some facts in the world that seems sour and cold, but they are true: The only way to learn what happens after one dies, is to die yourself. Of course, the monk isn't encouraging one to try it, it's just an "artistic" way to state he cannot answer the question, and nobody can answer it. (Well, as you probably know, in China or Japan we usually imply more things than we say directly, so you sometimes would have great difficulties comprehending the actual meaning of our words if you only consider the literal meaning.)
Also, a small notification: I slightly modified my last reply.
