This is just a hypothetical question of course, so bear with me. What happens to a buddhist if the world as we knew it ceased to exist? A catastrophic event happens, such as a nuclear holocaust, or an asteroid crashing into earth. Now I confess my knowledge of Buddhism is miniscular at best, but one of the main beliefs in Buddhism is the belief in reincarnation, correct? So if there is no life form to reincarnate too, what happens to our "very subtle mind." Does it stay in the intermediate state? I live near a buddhist temple in San Francisco, and the question just came into my mind smoking outside while staring at the temple. Any thoughts?
