| | ON REBIRTH: Buddhism and Reincarnation |
| | Thus even though the Buddhist position is that the rebirth is neither the same nor different from the one that died, I want to claim that the Buddhist (or at least some important Buddhist thinkers) maintains that the rebirth is a different person from the one that died. | | | The Buddhist position on rebirth is always stated to be that the rebirth is neither the same as, nor different from, the one who died. | | | I say all this notwithstanding the fact that the Buddhist position is said to be that the rebirth is not different from the one who died either. |

| | kamma&rebirth1 |
| | The Buddhist law of Kamma is not a fatalistic doctrine. | | | Kamma and rebirth are inter-related, fundamental doctrines in Buddhism, These two beliefs were prevalent in India before the advent of the Buddha. | | | From a Buddhist point of view they are not rewards and punishments, assigned by a supernatural, omniscient ruling power to a soul that has done good or evil. |

| | The Buddhist Rebirth concept is believed by many to be an ancient Indic doctrine that The Buddha embodied into his own teachings in a modified form; however this is probably not the case. | | | Rebirth, under Buddhism, is a corollary of Karma and the resulting Karmic energy that manifests itself as an impersonal stream of consciousness that is in a constant state of flux. | | | Rebirth is distinguished from Reincarnation since under the Buddhist concept one may be reborn into the kingdom of man, animal or the sea in any creature form - or in a state of formlessness on one of the many planes of existence. |

| | Other critics claim that rebirth was not a part of the Buddha's original teachings or that the Buddha copied the idea of rebirth from the Hindu doctrine of reincarnation. | | | The doctrine of rebirth is an integral part of the earliest records of the Buddha's teachings as preserved in the Pali Tipitaka and there is no evidence that it is a later interpolation. | | | K.N.

| | Quite otherwise, however, is it with the Buddhist doctrine of rebirth. | | | Thus, according to Buddhism, the present rebirth is the result of the craving, clinging and kamma volitions in the past birth. | | | In Buddhist countries it is therefore the custom to recall to the dying man's memory the good actions performed by him, in order to rouse in him a happy and pure kammical state of mind, as a preparation for a favorable rebirth. |

| | 1995 Gonda Lecture |
| | Obeyesekere offers an alternative method to study the development of the Buddhist doctrines of karma and rebirth: he compares the Buddhist rebirth eschatologies with those in other parts of the world. | | | The complex Buddhist doctrines of karma and rebirth came into being during the ethicization of these rebirth eschatologies, a process whereby a morally right or wrong action becomes a religiously right or wrong action that in turn affects a person's destiny after death. | | | His conclusion is that rebirth eschatologies which are closest to the Buddhist, are found in the vast circumpolar belt, particularly among Northwest Coast Indians and the Inuit or Eskimo. |

| | Buddha's Words - Gotaro2 |
| | He was one of the greatest Buddhist adepts from India who established Buddhism in Tibet in the ninth century.Together with his consort Yeshey Tsogyal, they concealed numerous texts, relics and transmissions of teachings in Tibet. | | | The Buddhist theory of rebirth asserts that the fruits of some kamma may manifest themselves in "future lives." This brings us to the Buddhist theory of rebirth. | | | The Buddhist doctrine of kamma [karma] ("deeds," "actions"), and the closely related doctrine of rebirth, are perhaps the best known, and often the least understood, of Buddhist doctrines. |

| | UU Sangha, Winter 2002 |
| | Early Buddhist scriptures like the Udana see nirvana as an absolute in the highest sense: it is not born or composed, it is irreducible, inexpressible and beyond all human experience. | | | I would say that in the early Buddhist experience, nirvana is the ending of the cycle of unhappiness by the extinction of desire, hatred and delusion. | | | There are many instances in the early Buddhist scriptures when the Buddha remains silent at being confronted with the demand to define nirvana or ultimate reality. |

| | Buddhist View on Death and Rebirth |
| | In Buddhist traditions, this death bed chanting is regarded as very important and is ideally the last thing the Buddhist hears. | | | Through Buddhist doctrine we are told by Buddhist masters that the final moment of our consciousness is paramount, the most important moment of all. | | | A dying Buddhist person is likely to request the service of a monk or nun in their particular tradition to assist in this process further, making the transitional experience of death as peaceful and free of fear as can be possibly achieved. |

| | Samsara |
| | According to several strands of the Mahayana Buddhist tradition, the division of saṃsāra and nirvāṇa is attacked using an argument that extends some of the basic premises of anatta and of Buddha's attack on orthodox accounts of existence. | | | The basic idea that there is a cycle of birth and rebirth is, however, not questioned in early Buddhism and its successors, and neither is, generally, the concept that saṃsāra is a negative condition to be abated through religious practice concluding in the achievement of final nirvāṇa. | | | The term samsara is also used by Buddhists to refer to one of the five skandhas or aggregates that make up the human personality. |

| | Moreover, the Buddhist doctrine of no-self is one of the best among several places in the teachings where we can begin to see beyond the individual interpretation of karma that has dominated the tradition so far. | | | Mahayana Buddhists were, of course, particularly attracted to this idea; they sought ways to develop an unselfish concern for the spiritual welfare of all sentient beings, and focused intently on methods enabling them to get out from under the self-centered implications of a personal spiritual quest. | | | 11Winston L. King explores the question of the separability of karma and rebirth, concluding that “a doctrine of karmic rebirth is not essential to a viable and authentic Buddhist ethic in the West,” in “A Buddhist Ethic Without Karmic Rebirth,” in the Journal of Buddhist Ethics, Volume 1, 1994. |

| | The Heaven of the Thirty-Three |
| | It is important to remember that all gods in Buddhism are subject to rebirth; Buddhist gods are not eternal, changeless, or all-powerful. | | | Indeed, throughout Buddhist cultures, the worship of local deities is not proscribed, unless that worship involves animal sacrifice.... | | | This heaven is one example of Buddhist syncretism, a tendency or willingness to incorporate outside ideas or images. |

| | Dhamma Without Rebirth? |
| | The aim of the Buddhist path is liberation from suffering, and the Buddha makes it abundantly clear that the suffering from which liberation is needed is the suffering of bondage to samsara, the round of repeated birth and death. | | | The Buddhist path stresses the role of wisdom as the instrument of deliverance, and wisdom must comprise not only a penetration of the moment in its vertical depths, but a comprehension of the past and future horizons within which our present existence unfolds. | | | In line with the present-day stress on the need for religious teachings to be personally relevant and directly verifiable, in certain Dhamma circles the time-honored Buddhist doctrine of rebirth has come up for severe re-examination. |

| | Karma - Free Encyclopedia of Thelema |
| | When Buddhists talk about karma, they are normally referring to karma/action that is 'tainted' with ignorance - karma that continues to ensure that the being remains in the everlasting cycle of samsara. | | | Alongside this view is the related notion of Buddhist rebirth - sometimes understood to be the same thing as reincarnation - which has its roots in the principle of Karma. | | | The Buddhist sutras explain that in order to generate liberating karma, we must first develop incredibly powerful concentration, and proper insight into the (un)reality of samsara. |
