Near-Death Experiences

We've all seen reports of Christians in fiery plane crashes or otherwise at death's doorstep experiencing visions of Christ showing the way out of the wreckage/beckoning them into heaven/etc., etc.

Do members of other religions report the same kind of experiences?

Yes.

I liked these:

*East Indians sometimes see heaven as a giant bureaucracy, and frequently report being sent back because of clerical errors!

* Natives of Micronesia often see heaven as similar to a large, brightly lit American city with loud, noisy cars and tall buildings.

Hindu near-death experiences. Thai Buddhist near-death experiences.
