Namaste _/\_
It's really difficult to conquer the fear
of death when it actually happens to you especially if one is not
prepared for it. But I suppose if one gets a second or third chance
to "come back", it would be wise to prepare for it the next
time. It's like you're really ignorant
and you may not know you are ignorant about it. It's like a wake-up call.
But people do change when they are given
the opportunity to redeem themselves.
While others may not understand why this person has changed 360
degree and think you've suffered some brain concussion when you
return. A few minutes seems like a long time. You become a different person, same body of course
but just feels different when you are back, like there is something
else holding you back from really switching off.
I suppose when the Lord of Death comes for
certain, there will be no conditions for warding him off and it
would be really pitiful if one dies without having had time to
practice Dharma while alive.
