Who here knows a bit about the reincarnation theory?

Question

I've always found this topic to be troublesome. plz help.

Answer 1

Reincarnation can't be proved. As with many things religious, it would require that you have some sort of faith in the potential outcome.

Assume that you have faith in reincarnation, it still does not prove that you will actually be reincarnated.

Living your life in a manner where you minimize bad karma and maximize good karma, most likely will result in a pleasant existance while you live, but is no guarantee that you will be reincarnated into a "better" existance.

Answer 2

Theoretically speaking, or more specifically "mathematically speaking, reincarnation is not a mathematical probability because of the knowledge of pi (3.141). The number is infinite - continuing into eternity. And that is as much as we know in mortality. Reincarnation philosophically speaking is an idea and therefore, can be construed as a possibility - meaning of course, that anything is possible but may not likely be probable. In other words it is a dream or fantasy idea...unless you are a Hindu then it can be heaven or hell. In either case it is chance as to the outcome of this life.

While reincarnation suggests a physical and visceral change in characteristics the energy that possesses such an entity is constant. So, in some idealogical thoughts you may be a peaseant in this life, but after your body dies the energy that was you will become a cow -- according to what you did in this life as outlined by theological dogma. In addition, other schools of thought on reincarnation suggest that you are made up of many characteristics that have gone before you and that you are a part of them all or lived and experienced them all...past present and future. Genetically speaking our DNA is made up from the ancestors of our past...there is a connection to other people that everyone on the planet who has lived and shall yet live here. But, going back to pi, people can be represented as a digit each is seperate from the last but collectivly they are eternal.

Did that answer your question?

Rebirth : Theory Of Rebirth
Man can be compared to a plant. He grows and flourishes like a plant and dies in the end but not completely. The plant also grows and flourishes and dies in the end. It leaves behind it the seed which produces a new plant. Man leaves when dying his Karma behind�the good or bad actions of his life. The physical body may die and disintegrate, but the impressions of his actions do not die. He has to take birth again to enjoy the fruits of these actions. No life can be the first, for it is the fruits of previous actions, nor the last, for its actions must be expiated in the next life following.

Answer 4

Why is it troublesome? When you die, you are immediatly reborn. I use to believe that you could turn into an animal, but alas - animals are to be forever animals and we'll never know the joy. Isn't it harsh of God to only give his children ONE chance to be perfect? It only makes sense that everyone should get more than one chance. I find it very comforting to know that if I mess up this time around I won't be sent to hell (a non exsistent place by the way).

Answer 5

When we die. We will reincarnate to be 'something'. That might be flies, frog, duck, bird, cow, even pig. It depends on, how weight is our sin. I think we need multiple incarnation to be back as human. If you doesn't want to reincarnation anymore, just do meditation things. Not to eat meat, and do all good things.

Answer 6

Reincarnation Theory
Buddha taught rebirth, or reincarnation, based on his own direct experience, and through the power of meditation, many Buddhist Yogis have gained the ability to remember their own and others' past lives.

Through training our mind in meditation, we can eventually develop a similarly profound level of concentration, and we shall then be able to verify the truth of rebirth through our own experience. Until then, however, the only way we can understand rebirth is to rely on reasons such as those presented in Buddha's teachings.

If we believe Buddha's teachings on rebirth and act in accordance with the law of karma, gradually our mental capacity will increase until eventually we shall directly perceive our past and future lives, but if we stubbornly deny the existence of reincarnation and karma we shall not make the effort to train our mind and so we shall never know rebirth through our own experience.

The Charavakas, the materialistic school of thought that flourished during the time of Buddha, argued that if something exists it can be perceived by the five senses. Not being able to see past and future lives with their senses, they concluded that reincarnation does not exist.

There are many people nowadays who refuse to believe in hidden objects such as reincarnation, saying that they believe only in what they themselves can see. This view is extremely superficial.

Most scientific and historical knowledge is based on logical inference from experiments rather than on unaided sense perception. We cannot directly see atoms, distant galaxies, or events in the past, but we can nevertheless know them through inference.

In the same way, although we cannot see our past and future lives, we can nevertheless infer them through logical reasoning.

Once we understand the existence of past lives, it will not be difficult to understand the existence of future lives. There are five ways to understand that we have lived before:

Understanding the continuum of the mind
Considering the great variety of mental imprints children are born with
Reflecting on dreams
Contemplating examples of people with memories of previous lives, and lastly
Through scriptural authority
By contemplating and meditating on these five lines of reasoning with an open mind and a good motivation it is not difficult to understand that we have had previous lives.

However, if we have decided in advance that reincarnation does not exist, and consider these arguments only to refute them, not even a living Buddha could make us believe in it.
