Understanding the Reincarnation or Reincarnation in Buddhism.

Regeneration  (reincarnation - reincarnation) is the transformation or transformation of the soul. After death, the body destroys disintegration, only the soul exists. And it will be transformed through the process of "absorbing" karma, which will determine where the soul will reincarnate. The main goal of Buddhism is to get rid of this suffering cycle to reach a new level called  Nirvana .

What is Regeneration?

According to Buddhism, samsara or  rebirth is a natural reminder  of the actions that have taken place in previous lives. Every action has echoes of the action, the action of a human being will lead to such new life after death, namely the  Law of Cause and Effect .

The cycle of samsara will be repeated until people have more insight, eradicating lust and paying off karma in previous lives to become enlightened as  Shakyamuni Buddha . With the strong development of modern Buddhism, the path of enlightenment to get rid of samsara is quite diverse, but in the end, all are not outside the  Noble Eightfold Path .

If Past Life is a Person Will Continue To Become A Human Being?

Are not! There are six realms in which one can be reborn. Some people will be reborn in heaven when they achieve many merit and wisdom achievements, some are reborn in hell if they do many bad things (according to Mahayana Buddhism), some people are reborn like  ghosts hungry ghosts , animals ...

Like all conditioned states, the heavens are impermanent and when a person whose minds are no longer pure, they can be reborn as a normal human if they appear. negative thoughts and actions. There are many such examples in Chinese movies when some fairy falls to earth (of course, this is just one example).

In order to get rid of the cycle of rebirth , one must strive to eliminate the defilements that hold back the enlightened one and  attain Nirvana . Nirvana is an unconditioned state, beyond the control of impermanence and the law of cause and effect. According to the sutras, an enlightened person is like a pure gold lion, all parts of gold are not contaminated with bad impurities.

What Decides Where to Recycle?

The most important factor, but not the only one, affects where we will be reborn, how life is karmic. Karma means "past actions" that will affect our place and our lives in the present. Similarly, we think and act now will affect that in the future. Gentle, loving people tend to be reborn in heaven.

People who use tricks or extreme cruelty tend to be reborn in hell, hungry ghosts or an animal suffering pain. Any mental habit that is strongly developed in the present life will continue in the next life. However, most people are reborn as human beings.

Can We Change Karma to Recover Better?

Of course possible. That is why the Buddha taught the  Noble Eightfold Path  to all people to enlighten themselves to Nirvana. Some people simply go through life under the influence of their past habits, without making an effort to change them and take the bad consequences. Such people will continue to suffer unless they change their negative habits.

The negative habits still exist, the more difficult they change. Buddhism understands this and takes advantage of every opportunity to eliminate bad habits and develop good habits that help bring happiness and happiness to life.

Meditation  is one of the techniques used to modify the habits of mind to control thoughts, words and actions in a positive way. Buddhism is a training that purifies and liberates the mind, develops goodness and eradicates evil. If bad habits are strengthened and developed in the present life, they will become more prominent in the future life, and vice versa. This is based on the simple fact that it is easy to see that long-established habits tend to be hard to break.

Is there evidence that science is proof of the truth?

Not only is there scientific evidence to support the Buddhist belief in rebirth, it is the only theory with concrete evidence to support  rebirth after death . Over the years, researchers have reported that some people have vivid memories of their past lives.

In England, a 5-year-old girl says she can remember she has "another mother and father" and she talked meticulously about what happened like the events of her life. others. The psychiatrists were called and they asked hundreds of questions and the girl answered correctly.

She talks about living in a special Spanish village, she has named the village, the street name she lives in, the name of the neighbor and the details of her daily life there. She is also frightened about how she got into an accident and died of her injuries two days later.

When these details are checked, they are found to be correct. There is a village in Spain with the name of the five year old girl. There is a house she describes on the street she named. In addition, the 23-year-old housewife died in a car accident five years ago.

How can a five year old girl live in England and who has never been to Spain know all these details? And of course, this is not the only case of proof of rebirth. Professor Ian Stevenson of the Department of Psychology at the University of Virginia has described dozens of these types of cases in his book. He is a recognized scientist with a 25-year study of people who remembered life as a very strong evidence for the Buddhist teachings of rebirth.

Is Regeneration True to Sex?

The dictionary defines "superstition" as when beliefs are not based on reason or reality but are based on a combination of ideas of transcendence, rebirth is not such a belief, reincarnation is accepted By the study, concrete evidence of practical relevance.

Thomas Huxley, who was responsible for putting science into the British school system in the nineteenth century and was the first scientist to defend Darwinism, believes that reincarnation or rebirth is a very meaningful idea. Prof. Gustaf Stromberg, a famous Swedish astronomer, physicist and friend of Einstein, also found the idea of ​​rebirth.

Various opinions, whether the human soul can be reborn on earth or not. In 1936 a very interesting case was thoroughly investigated and reported by government agencies in India. A girl (Shanti Devi from Delhi) can accurately describe her previous life (in Muttra, five hundred miles from Delhi) ending about a year after she gave birth to a second child. She had the right name for her husband, son, and all that happened in her life. Professor Julian Huxley, famous British scientist, director general of UNESCO, said that regeneration is relatively consistent with scientific thinking.

Therefore, the teachings on the  rebirth of Buddhism  have some scientific evidence to support it. It is reasonably consistent and it has come a long way to answer the question that theological and material theories do not. What could be worse than a theory of life, no second chance, no chance to correct the mistakes you have caused in this life and no time to develop further the skills and virtues you have nurtured in this life.

According to the Buddha , if you do not attain nirvana in your present life, you will have the opportunity to try again. If you make a mistake in this life, you will be able to fix yourself in the next life. END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.25/6/2018.
