Reincarnation.

Rotating the wheel, Islam is back. Since the wheel, so the wheel will point to move away, but then there will be time to return to the old location, then just go back to the same nostalgic. Thus, reincarnation means such cycles . Human existence is an endless chain of life, every life, all starting with the birth and ends with death. Birth and death continual succession as the wheels keep spinning forever spinning constantly.
Reincarnation is not a characteristic of Buddhist theory, because before the advent of Buddhism is reincarnation was circulated in Hindus and Jains. Buddha taught reincarnation available in two religions, while additional reinforced, to explain human destiny beyond this life. The Buddha taught that if people have a pure intellectual insight, they can remember their past lives. Himself can recall countless of his life and that of many others. He tells a lot of life ahead of him and some other people with the full facts when talking about some people know.
Majjhima Nikaya wrote: "The Tathagata has recalled many lives in the past as follows: firstly a lifetime, then two lives, then 3, 4, 5, 20, and 50, then 100, 1000, 100,000 lives, etc .. "
This prayer recalls the night the Buddha attained the Associate Chief Enlightenment at a farm, he obtained the intellectual Additional Minh Mang aware of past lives. To the second watch, he attained Eye Minh beings found dead from this life reborn into another life. He witnessed the spectacle of "the coward who sang, who pretty bad, guys happy people miserable beings die every regeneration, depending on the behavior of each artifact."
Although in Hinduism and Jainism Teachers have reincarnation, but Buddhism is not based on that, just based on experiences and perceptions of himself, but sublime, but anyone can achieve if practiced properly cultivated. Additional students have recorded stories of Buddha's past lives. Beijing China A-Ham and Boost-A-Ham Nhat sometimes also refers to the Buddha's past lives.
Doing Great Nirvana recorded: One day, the Venerable Ananda asked the Buddha about the fate of some The other died in the village, the Buddha patiently describes the case of each person and each situation. in the Tipitaka has many passages record a similar case. It has proved to Buddha explained rebirth and reincarnation as a truth verifiable.
The theory of reincarnation of the Buddha obtained causal laws make foundation: any one incident would always be the result of a causal sequence occurs before it and also the cause for a series of consequences that will follow. Cause and effect closely linked as a chain so endless: any link would have been a cause for the next launch after it and the consequences for the eye preceding it. The reincarnation can be illustrated thus: every life is similar to a link in an endless chain. This lifetime happiness or suffering, with the talent or innate tendencies have caused any of the previous life, and this life is the main cause of the decision factors that make up the afterlife.
Reincarnation can be intelligent more easily understood by chain painting day in our lives, each day represents a life. Today we are (or were) like this as a result of yesterday and the day before. What we have is, do today will affect the lives of us tomorrow and the next day. For example today I wrote this book is because yesterday someone suggested to me to write down. The reason yesterday he suggested to me that since the earlier days I have read many books on Buddhism. In turn, the day before my research because ... Every day how well are reasons from the previous day. In terms of the future, because today I wrote this book print up tomorrow will bring. Tomorrow should be the day after tomorrow I'm bringing in more people to read me. One day I was reading so many days that I ... And so, every day affects it the next day. So, just how I see today, one can predict the day before yesterday and again I had to do, and guess what day tomorrow and then I went back.
Many things happen to me today is due to the fact that I do well today. But so many things happen to me today will not be explained if only based on what I do today, that can only be explained by the fact that I did yesterday or the day before. If I forget what I did yesterday and before another, many things happened today I would be illogical, unjust. If you forget what happened in his past, with the prisoners would not understand why only now am up and not do anything, I have to handcuff the police, put in jail, was considered crimes, and take all kinds of torture, while there are many today who have committed some crimes that are still free and are entitled Traditional café with the win unfairly. If you forget what you've done in the past but remember what I did today, from morning until now only, see life is unfair result: innocent like her, then imprisoned, under every suffering basis, but he who sins is the freedom to fly and enjoy every life preference. But just remembering the things you did yesterday or earlier, they will find themselves not guilty, that have committed crimes no less than those who are guilty of today. These names can also be laid tomorrow fad law and also nets will feel unfair if they do not remember what they do today.
According to Buddhism, every human existence is an endless life including consecutive lifetimes. This life ends in death for starting the afterlife by birth. If life was an endless life such as this, each of which lives for such a day, as in the illustration above. Yes it is worth wondering why I can not remember a previous life I was doing what, where, how life. That can be explained as follows:
Board the evening, when considering the things I did today, I feel relatively easy but there are some circumstances that I can not remember at all. If you have to reconsider things yesterday, I feel better, because the job yesterday to now, has been somewhat disrupted due to undergo a night's time I lived unaware. Great job yesterday began to sink into my subconscious, and to recall them, my mind is more effort to remember things today. If you have to remember what I did before, months ago, years ago, it is even more difficult, as far forward as hard to remember. Mechanical evisceration memory subconsciously and without the help of intermediaries to think of things that want to remember, it is very difficult to remember. A lot of work in the past, even last month or last year, I do not remember at all. And things get worse when they remember things from childhood. These things happen in this life to be remembered in the same brain that was so hard to remember, especially things that happened long ago, how much more things in a previous life, was remembered in brain identified Other meat, before moving into the flesh of the brain in this life. The incident happened in a previous life, when switching to the brain of this life, has been ranked in the subconscious in the deeper layers of the work to be remembered in this life. Want to remember what has been noted in past lives, need to have a very wise soul, peaceful. Want that, need to practice a lot in many lives during installation. The Buddha himself said he remembers a lot of his past life, and anyone who is like his practice, would realize that.
The world forgetting their past lives as is necessary and beneficial reported to law enforcement to be nice. For example, there are two enemies together in a previous life together owed ​​about feelings of love for them to become a father, husband or wife, or brothers of each other in this life. If being loved by each other in this life that they remember the feud with each other from past lives, how they could love each other as business requires. At that time they will become hostile to each other but not living together as father and son, husband and wife or brother again. Or like a previous life having to worry every sorrow, so in this life they enjoy a nice comfortable life, if they remember all the sadness frustration, or sadness, hatred previous life, how can they get comfortable life joyful. The unfortunate events that recall old will weigh their heart in this life, will haunt them and make them miserable, bitter. So, forget the past life to be able to start a whole new life is an essential and beneficial for all beings. When beings have not reached the level of liberation, the soul is not pure or clean enough, they remember past lives not only harm beneficial. Therefore, the ability to recall past lives only for those who have or are about to reach the level of liberation, which had been purified soul, compassionate generosity. These people have to know whether the person next to you or in the hands of his enemies killed his cruel in a previous life, would let her enemies by police, even kindness to him anymore . But the average person to see the neighbors, or with his school friend, or someone in your family is the implacable enemy to himself in a previous life, how can you condone or treat be nice to him? If people in this world not to forget his past life, then the world would be more chaos, will be much more miserable than hatred piling up.
In addition to the practice of meditation and mental development in full force can remember what happened in the past life, there are other unusual circumstances. For example in the book Reincarnation and the law Kamma, W. Atkinson cited that Pythagoras recalled thorough shield he used in a previous existence, then he is siege of Troie. In life he was reborn as Pythagoras, the conflict was still left in a Greek temple. In the study of the psychology of super (parapsychology) has cited many cases of people being hypnotized recounted his experiences in past lives. And based on that of a psychiatrist to cure effectively. There are people like Edgar Casey (USA), is a psychiatric physician, can cure mental patients effectively based on what he saw in their previous lives. There are babies, coordinated by the sudden thought, had suddenly remembered a period of time or a few more in a past life. But when they grow up they do not remember anymore. Nearly everyone has experienced this as well: there are many times I witnessed a scene that somehow we had never met before in my life, but naturally it feels as familiar, or have seen this scene before which can not be determined at any time.
In the world there are strange phenomena are difficult to explain, but Buddhists explained easily by their reincarnation. There are prodigies such as Christian Heieken can talk even for a few hours after birth, naturally speak many times the Bible passage up, answer the questions about geography at the age of two said to be Latin and French at the age of three, and philosophy classes when he was four. John Stuart Mill could read Greek letters when three years old. Macaulay could write world history at the age of six. William James Sidis read and write coherently, mother tongue (USA) at the age of two, and when he was eight, it was said to be French, Russian, English, German and know a little about Latin and Greek. Charles Bennett (Manchester) says a lot languages ​​at the age of three years old. Say experiences in his past life, the other person can not be verified and to suspect that falsified. And events like the prodigy, we can verify it. So how to explain alright? Say that heaven was born like that, or God's special grace so they must have really argue that too simple, and is synonymous with not explain anything. Some scientists explain that it is the unusual growth of glands like the pineal gland, thyroid, adrenal glands ... This interpretation was rejected because of the development of this ganglion affect the ability to remember or intelligence or aptitude somehow, can not naturally acquire knowledge or experience. Experience and knowledge can only learn new or experienced. For the same reason explained by the theory that genetics can not stand. Furthermore, parents or grandparents of the child prodigies often do not have the skills or experience or knowledge of such. Prodigy Mozart, for example, a new 6-year-old has composed the music immortal: parents and ancestors for generations before him none of the good music at all, how can genetically gifted that he was? If science or the alternative hypothesis does not explain satisfactorily the problem prodigy, the theory of rebirth and reincarnation becomes more reliable. John Stuart Mill could read Greek letters when three years old. Macaulay could write world history at the age of six. William James Sidis read and write coherently, mother tongue (USA) at the age of two, and when he was eight, it was speak French, Russian, English, German and know a little about Latin and Greek. Charles Bennett (Manchester) speak several languages ​​at the age of three years old. Say experiences in his past life, the other person can not be verified and to suspect that falsified. And events like the prodigy, we can verify it. So how to explain alright?

The Buddhists believe that reincarnation reincarnation theory can explain the difference injustice can hardly be satisfactorily explained on this world. Why are these people so rich, rich "poured wall cracks archives", rich life from birth to death, not because they have nothing but by the command of their luck, while the poor have as much , poverty "aphid grit", and a lifetime of poverty, not because they are guilty, but just because they are less fortunate? How to explain the fact many people do evil, even monstrous, but still enjoy the riches scene, thankfully, have the means to suppress exploitation of other people all my life, sometimes to a lifetime offspring , while there are those who do good and avoid evil lifetime and still see every misfortune, injustice, oppression lifetime (not as God rewards Job been at the end of life)? There are those who never do evil but function is unjust murder and sentenced to lifer (as in Cronin's novel, The sword of justice , or of Carrière, Papillon ): Be comforted those people that what? How do I convince them that the good Lord has arranged infinity such as love, His infinite wisdom? Must explain that unjustly overwhelming acceptance for how they are satisfied and reasonable for them to endure not only a willing but please again? how to explain to them recognize that heaven is not unjust to them, but on the contrary, their unjustly the key is to show justice?
Of course each religion has its reasonable interpretation, consistent agreed, but Buddhists believe that their reincarnation explained most satisfactorily. According to the law of cause and effect, any events also are the cause of it, and there is no room for absolute random (Christianity also recognizes "Not a hair on your head that falls outside of the will of My Father ": Mt 10.29). If someone falsely convicted in this life, then certainly in a past life they did a bad conduct commensurate with his punishment, should the their unjustly in this life does not unjustly at all. In fact, many people do a very bad thing finished, dead, man's laws should not be punished. And there are many instances in life is not to do evil in my life that was the injustice resentment. If accepted reincarnation and rebirth, the two cases are very articulate. Furthermore, each person must have affinity (favorable circumstances) will end result is. Like seeds must be planted in the earth, to water, temperature, nutrients in the soil can then grow into new and fruitful trees. Furthermore, the sowing of seeds into a turn, but the corn is just a few months to be effective, there must be a few years orange trees. Similarly, good works, as well as to meet the evil charm (good conditions) to be effective, with the result that even in this life, have the right to the afterlife or the next life away with retribution.
As Thus, those who do good, but having panoramic thwarted because of their good works do not have favorable conditions to bear fruit, while they bear the painful situation is the result of the evil they do in a previous life now experiencing favorable conditions should bear fruit. And the evildoers that met upon the whole scene is that the evil of this life they do not have favorable conditions to produce evil results, and they are entitled upon the scene as fresh fruit of good works they did in life before. Two different cases have someone in prison under every miserable in jail though since not doing something evil, while another pirate is rampant with all kinds of evil that still live outside milling milling with sufficient all pleasures. Man in jail for doing evil to the new jail, but the jail does not cause evil then not again. Also robber outside because previously no evil cause should still be free, but sooner or later he is laying nets in prison law and will suffer as the other guy alone. If the only basis of the present without the past based on a lot of things in life are inexplicable. Likewise, if the only basis of the present life, and for that there is no past life, many things can not be explained and can only come to the conclusion that life is absurd injustice.
And prodigy phenomenon is due knowledge, experience, talent acquired from a previous life, and for some reason that particular move is to the afterlife. Let's talk about moving away from the spiritual heritage one life to another post. Reincarnation also explain the trends or gifted to every one: why in the same family, even in identical twins (due to an ovum and a sperm), the siblings again Each person has a different innate tendencies? Good at painting people, who prefer music? the moral bias, the bias of material self-interest? the popular philosophy, like real people? ... The Buddhists believe that everyone has chosen set of innate tendencies that in a previous life, and this life starting spot last life unfinished. If a previous life I passion to learn about music, then this lifetime I would naturally prefer and gifted in music. Previous life I never ever math, if this life I began to study mathematics, I can not be good at math. If a previous life I was an animal, and this life to make people, I'm sure I'll be a primitive, with many interesting features. If a previous life I was a talented scientist, then this life I may be a prodigy.
