Where are my legs : Buddhism at the crossroad of the culture and biology

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The most discussed theme of the Buddhism is experience, especially the experience of alternated states of consciousness. In the Buddhist literature and among Buddhists, we can find many self-reports about "loosing hands", "missing legs" and disappearingof other body parts, out of body experiences, or near-death experiences during meditation. From the Buddhist point of view these "special" states are solely results of mental cultivation by meditation techniques. But we can find these experiences also inour everyday life in biologically predisposed individuals. Sleep research has well documented loosing of sense of one's own body in a sleep paralysis (sleep-off set phase) and disappearing of body parts in a hypnagogic state (sleep-on set phase).
