Not that I've ever seen. There are the Suttas, and there are the commentaries which were supposedly written by other enlightened people following the Buddha's death, in which they tried to fill in the gaps of what the Suttas didn't explain.
In general, when you die it's the moment of death that has a very powerful effect for your next life. When I say your moment of death, that includes your thoughts right at that moment. You have your general Kamma, if you've been a very good person, that's going to weigh heavily with your rebirth. If you've been a very negative person, hurtful and so on, then that's going to weigh very heavily to give you not a good rebirth. But it also depends on your last thoughts. If you've been a very good person but your last thoughts are very negative, angry or whatever, then they say that can trigger off rebirth in a negative state. However it might only be short-lived because you've done a lot of good Kamma before that. So if rebirth is true you will have the ability, or opportunity I should say, to dramatically affect your next life, if you can control your thoughts at death.
But controlling your thoughts at death is not easy, especially if it is a very fearful death. If it is very frightening, as all of you can appreciate, then that fear may drive us to a state where we can't think logically and we start to scream or whatever. Imagine you're in an airplane and it starts to go straight down, what's the sound going to be like? The sound is going to be piercing. Virtually everyone in the airplane will scream and it's going to very difficult to keep your calm state of mind when everyone around you starts screaming.
I had a little experience of that, a few years ago when I was bitten by a snake, one of the women around me started screaming her head off. As much as possible, by what I know about snakes, I was trying to keep calm. It was wrapped up right, Rosemary was racing for a car to try and get me to a hospital, I was trying to keep the heart beating as slow as possible to stop the poison getting to the heart. Yet this woman started screaming, "Oh he's going to die!" I watched the heartbeat speed up, it was that dramatic. I told everyone to get her out of here. They did, and when they got her out of there, I was able to calm my heartbeat down again. This was an important lesson for me, so I'd like to pass it on to you. If you're on an airplane and everyone starts screaming, it's going to be very hard to keep your ability to control your own mind. This is what we want to practice.
But what if you don't have the time to say, "Oh, ok, I'm dying now, I'm going to do some Compassion/Lovingkindness meditation"? If you don't have the time, if death is coming too quick, then what's going to happen is that your basic habitual thoughts will come up. Now to have a habitual good thought you have to train your thoughts. In dreams that I've had, and I'm one of those people who doesn't have nightmares anymore, but in one of those dreams that was supposed to be a nightmare, I'm going off a cliff in a truck and I immediately start meditating, wishing people Compassion/Lovingkindness. In that particular dream, when we hit the water and we went down under. I wasn't dead yet, but now it's finished, I'm drowning. I continued with the same thoughts.
It was a wonderful dream to have. It showed that my habitual thoughts, my practice of 30 years of meditation, my habitual thoughts had gone into my sub-conscious and came up when I thought I was going to die. You need good habitual thoughts. Rosemary had an experience of being extremely ill and fainting in a bathroom where it was all concrete, and when she was falling, not knowing where her head was going to land, she started reflecting on the Buddha, Dhamma, Sangha. That was very strong in her habitual thoughts. Now they say that if you die with thoughts of the Buddha, Dhamma, Sangha, then that will propel you to a birth where you will meet the Buddha, Dhamma, Sangha again. So your habitual thoughts have to be already in process, already in there so that you can rely on them at the moment of death.
