I am a Buddhist from birth from Sri Lanka I investigated more than three decade on rebirth or reincanation. Read many books, listen to many talks I am very greaful to your explanatoon, you have reincanated my view of rebirth with scientific comparoson. Thank you for enlighten me bless you❤
We are eternal. I am 86, some fifty years ago I composed a little poem that I like you to read. The title is Eternity. It goes like this : I have been the sky and I have been the sea. I have been the wind and I have been the tree. This is why I know that I was, that I am and that, after I die, through the quantic of the atoms of my body I will always be, in a billion forms and a billion millennia. Different from religions and philosophies, my poem applies to every human, every living or not living thing. My poem is the mirror of reality. Reincarnation is the dream of humanity alone, and even if reincarnation can happen, it is as an exception in billion lives. God is part of everything.
Remember, Buddha was just a man with thought provoking wise ideas, not an infallible demi god. For my part I live according to 'I don't know' with no belief system but with great respect for nature and all living things, it works for me.
Excellent
every moment we die and reborn. watch your mind.
Catechism of The Buddhist Doctrine Primarily in Buddhism it is compulsory to accept Rebirth & KARMA (Wholesome or Unwholesome Commitments) though only voluntarily one should accept The Doctrine, purely through conviction. after accepting Buddhism purely through conviction. It’s mandatory to make 5 sacrifices or observe Five Precepts as a Layman, 1. To Abstain from Killing, Harming or Endangering any kind of living beings. 2. To Abstain from Stealing or taking what is not granted to you. Pilferage, Cheat ,Plunder, Pillage, Loot, etc; 3. To Abstain from Committing Adultery or illegal sexual misbehavior. 4. To Abstain from Falsehood, Pretend, Mendacity, Lying or Deceit. It’s v.important for Buddhists to refrain from falsehood as they seek the Truth. 5. To Abstain from Intoxication or Narcotic Drug Abuse. Standards are of course higher and much more austere for a Novice Monk (like the Poverty vow, Strict Celibate living etc;) Unlike in all other major religions including Hinduism, Buddhism doesn’t accept a creator God but instead Evolution, according to the Commitment or KARMIC Force which enables the ideal situation. Eg; Wholesome Commitments will deliver pleasant or desirable births in a Celestial or Human birth or vis-à-vis in the case of Unwholesome Commitments. For whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap. (New Testament - Saint Paul) A rather short and precise emphasis would be, mentally and physical commitment or action(volition,consciously acting by purpose). Therefore what happens accidentally(unintentionally) doesn't create a payback situation.Although KARMIC reaction may not take place quite instantly but for surely in due time-course it will start paying retribution to the owner of it(Eg; if one plants an apple seed you wouldn't get apples over night, but certainly for sure it will give results at its fruition). It's mind foremost. Though Envy, Jealousy, Aversion, Covetousness and Ignorance are all evil and doesn't involve any physical action but it will definitely have a KARMIC reaction in a miserable realm as they are mindful commitments(intention) . Lord BUDDHA has mentioned the type of KARMA and its reactions are infinite. This subject of KARMA is a vast subject in Buddhism with lots of elaborations like the Cause & Effect Theory, · Dependent on the main cause ignorance , volitional (KARMIC) formations evolves. · Dependent on volitional formations, consciousness evolves. · Dependent on consciousness, mentality-materially(Mind & Matter) evolves. · Dependent on mentality-materially, the six sense faculties(Eye,Nose,Tongue,Ear,Body & Brain ) evolves . · Dependent on the the six sense faculties, contact evolves. · Dependent on contact, sensual feeling evolves. · Dependent on Sensual feeling, craving evolves. · Dependent on craving, clinging evolves. · Dependent on clinging, existence( Rebirth in*31 Realms ) evolves. · Dependent on existence, birth evolves. · Dependent on existence,decay,senility death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief and despair evolves * According to Buddhist Cosmology,Lord BUDDHA has mentioned that the number of Galaxies run in to infinity in 625 B.C, a Galaxy comprises of 31 realms of existence and they are, the 4 miserable Hell Realms (1.Animal 2.Goblin or the Hungry Ghostly Forms 3. Extra Gigantic Miserable Ghostly Forms 4. The 136 Hell realms full of torture found beneath the earth.) 1 Human realm, 6 Celestial Heavenly realms, 20 Celestial Brahma realms(Super-mundane). Also Rebirth is quite different to Reincarnation which means the same person appearing again. According to Buddhism it’s NOT THE SAME or NOT ANOTHER Eg; Suppose Julius Caesar reborn currently as Prince Charles, he’s not Julius Caesar now ,but no one else either but a generation of the Cycle of Birth & Death of a being. We're driven by Greed, Hatred and Delusion the 3 evil KARMIC roots embedded in our minds which doesn't need any nourishment, the downward currents fueling our *cycle of birth and death (*SAMSARIC SOJOURN) which causes immense suffering to us. So the perfect solution or the antidote prescribed by The BUDDHA, is to engage our selves in acts of 1.Generosity, to nullify Greed. 2.To Contemplate on Loving Kindnesses and especially to Forgive one's Adversaries and Treacherous Enemies, this technique is to curtail the evil root of Anger, Animosity or Hatred and Jealousy which is embedded in our minds. 3.Finally to develop Wisdom through sheer Contemplative Meditation to make Ignorance obsolete. Ignorance which is the main reason for the existence of both other evil aspects Greed and Hatred. Both Greed and Hatred can't exist without Ignorance. Lord BUDDHA has taught us how to liberate our selves by contemplating on reality of the 1.The NATURAL PHENOMENON OF IMPERMANENCE(both Mind & Matter, arise to pass away or Appear to Disappear) 2.The NATURAL PHENOMENON OF SUFFERING(due to 1st phenomenon of Impermanence) 3. The NATURAL PHENOMENON OF SOULLESSNESS (non continuity or non eternity.This is the most subtle phenomenon) and this technique of meditation is known as The INSIGHT MEDITATION which enables you to exterminate the KARMIC FORCE and would nullify your future existence in any of the *31 realms of existence in this Galaxy or in any other Galaxy (Lord BUDDHA has mentioned that the number of Galaxies run in to infinity in 625 B.C) a Galaxy comprises of * 31 realms of existence and they are, the 4 miserable Hell Realms (1.Animal 2.Goblin or the Hungry Ghostly Forms 3. Extra Gigantic Miserable Ghostly Forms 4. The 136 Hell realms full of torture found beneath the earth.) 1 Human realm, 6 Celestial Heavenly realms, 20 Celestial Brahma realms(Super-mundane). And INSIGHT MEDITATION leads you to the emancipation of all suffering or NIRVANA( cessation of Birth, Decay, Illness,Death Lamentation and all forms of Suffering) Wherever Birth takes place it isn't NIRVANA and in NIRVANA there's no Birth taking place any more. "Transient alas are all component things Subject are they to birth & then decay Having gained birth to death the life flux swings Bliss truly dawns when unrest dies away" -The Buddha(Light of Asia. by Sir Edwin Arnold)
Thank you
Lol. Why does the speech keep getting cut off near the end?
A bit heavy for me but interesting.....
very interesting... so a 'transitional being' is a ghost/spirit? does the transitional being do anything or go anywhere other than to the next body?
I love reincarnation in some sense to get to have the great pleasures in life
AI narration is not my cup of tea
good and meaningful ❤
When our five aggregates (form, feeling, perceptions, mental formation and consciousness) disintegrate, we die. When five aggregates integrate, we born.
Buddha forbids the discussion of religions. And. an Arahan must not reveal. himself but let. others somehow find and see the truth. themselves
Edgar Cayce helped a lot of people with phobias by past-life regression.
I believe in reincarnation but a few minutes in and I can’t understand what is being said. The ad about Mens hardness is gross! Moving on.
In Buddhism there is after life. This is according to Buddhist scriptures written by Buddhist Monks. But Buddha never said about reincarnation, rebirth or previous life or after life. Buddha clearly said that no Soul or Karma inside you. He found there is only Knowledge and Intelligence inside you. After the moment of death knowledge and Intelligence will be vanished. Nothing will be remained.
cessation of rebirth is not the end is true.
