3. - After Death

Upon the death of the phsyical body, consciousness enters a state of woe or bliss.
In the state of woe one repents of the evils done.
After repentance the one in woe joins others in a Pureland.
In the Pureland all reach Nirvana.
Upon Nirvana the illusory individual dissolves into the nondual source.
Where there is duality there is impermanence.
wow, from where did you pick this up? Consciousness is taught in Buddhism as the initial cognition which arises based on six types of sense bases. So consciousness is of six types.

Eye- Consciousness
Ear-Consciousness
tongue-
nose-
body-
mind-

Consciousness is not taught as a single entity which "enters". Personally I have not yet come across any sutta which states that consciousness remains after death. I do not understand how consciousness or sensory cognition arises without the physical body
