A new book titled 'Next Life May Not Offer a Chance to Speak' by Chatchawat Phongwattana, published by Think Beyond Publishing, costs 295 baht. It explores the uncertainty of life, the importance of mental training, and reflections on karma and the afterlife through the author's personal spiritual experiences. The work aims to encourage readers to live the present life fully while preparing for the journey beyond death.
The book ‘Next Life May Not Offer a Chance to Speak’ by Chatchawat Phongwattana, published by Think Beyond Publishing, priced at 295 baht, opens with the line: ‘When death is not the end, mental training is the way forward.’ The phrase ‘next life’ may sound far‑removed or like mere folklore to most people, but for those who have truly entered the earnest path of Dharma practice it carries a much more intimate meaning—it reflects the uncertainty of breath that could vanish at any moment. The book is not intended to frighten, but to pose a stirring question to the depths of the heart: If today were your last day, are you ready? Is what you have accumulated in your ‘mind bank’ a supply of merit or merely the blemishes of karma awaiting resolution? The unsettling reality is that many spend their whole lives building securities in this world, yet forget to prepare for the long journey after their final breath. This work is not just a Dharma textbook citing scriptures alone; it is a travelogue refined from the author’s inner experiences, having touched dimensions beyond ordinary sight. Each chapter leads the reader to understand deep mental states, unseen energies, and the law of karma operating precisely through real events the author has experienced. What you are about to read may shake old beliefs or open new perspectives concerning the spirit world and psychic communication. These experiences are presented not as sensational miracles for thrill, but as costly lessons reminding us that the unseen does not mean nonexistent, and only a well‑trained mind can become a lamp lighting the way through darkness when the physical body deteriorates. The essential message the book wishes to convey is not to cling to visions or the invisible, but to use them as teachers to turn back and polish the present mind, making it clear, bright, and peaceful. Knowing about a next life exists so we can ‘make this present life as good as possible,’ enabling us to face our final moment with grace and without anything left unsettled.
