Significance of Spiritually awakened
In Tibetan Buddhism, the concept of spiritually awakened pertains to a state that contrasts with certain Theist views. Critics argue that the belief in individuals losing all consciousness and memory at dissolution is inaccurate. Instead, spiritually awakened individuals maintain a level of awareness even at the point of dissolution, suggesting a more nuanced understanding of consciousness in the context of death and spiritual development.
