Stroke induced nirvana

"Buddhist teachings encourage us to 'let go' of the chattering and thinking mind and to relax into mindfulnes of the present moment so that we can experience the 'way things are'. The thinking mind is to be seen as basically unreliable and through practise, those undertaking Buddhist meditation can learn to trust and to abide in intuitive awareness (the unconditioned). The stroke experienced by Jill would appear to have damaged and abruptly silenced her thinking mind, allowing intuitive awareness to became dominant in a powerful way and for her to experience the unconditioned."
