When you die, the five aggregates disappear. When living beings die, the five aggregates disappear and consciousness also disappears, great king. So why does the World-Honored One have the theory that sentient beings are always following their karma and consciousness will seek to be reborn according to that karma. The King asked: - When a being dies here, is reborn elsewhere, will the consciousness of that being leave these five aggregates to be reborn? - When living beings die, the five aggregates disappear and consciousness also disappears, great king. - Then why did the World-Honored One say that sentient beings always follow their karma and will seek rebirth according to that karma. - Correct. - Please, venerable sir. - That rebirth consciousness is called the rebirth consciousness, that is, the consciousness that connects from one life to the next. When death, consciousness disappears, does not follow, but it acts, changes direction in a blink of an eye, and the rebirth consciousness goes to another realm immediately. For example, people light a fire from one lamp to another. As the fire from the lamp on one side does not go to the lamp on the other side, neither does consciousness follow it, great king. Contemplating the Five Aggregates - Did the great king study mathematics, grammar, and history when he was a child with tutors? - Yes. - Then math, grammar, history... did it run from the mouth, from the tutor's brain to the king's mouth and brain? - No run over. - And when the great king studies well, the knowledge and understanding of the tutors must be exhausted because they have all been passed on to the great king? - It's not like that. Their knowledge and understanding remained the same. - So nothing goes through? - Not available. - Reincarnation is also like that. When the five aggregates die, consciousness also ceases, no consciousness follows, but that consciousness acts, directs the mind.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=BUDDHIST DHARMA WHEEL GOLDEN MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA.SYDNEY.20/1/2023.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.
