Germany:

 Buddhist meets Jesus in coma

"I work in on a hospital ward for terminally ill patients," writes Eva-E. Müller-de Ahna from Munich. "I spoke with a nurse about Christianity and experiences with dying people. I had just read a very good book (George Ritchie, Return from Tomorrow).

The author had died in a field hospital when he was 20 years old, and taken to the mortuary. To the astonishment of the doctors and nurses, he returned to life. He experienced many wonderful things while
dead, including meeting Jesus.

The nurse I was talking to told me of a similar case: her uncle had married a practising Buddhist whose father, also a Buddhist, suffered a heart attack and was taken to a Munich hospital, where he spent several days in a coma in intensive care. When he awoke from the coma, he continually pointed at the cross hanging on the wall. The nurses asked him if the cross offended him as a Buddhist, and whether they should take it down. He shook his head, but continued to point at the cross. When he could finally speak again, he said that he had met Jesus in his coma.

Jesus told him that he would awake from the coma and live for another fourteen days. He should be baptised, and Jesus would wait for him. The patient insisted on being baptised immediately, and died exactly fourteen days after waking from the coma."
