Reincarnation, Sanskrit is Samsara, while Chinese characters are wheel, wheel is spinning. The image of the spinning wheel that Buddha used to visualize the rotation of sentient beings in the six paths (the six paths) and the continuation of samsara and samsara do not end in those six paths. In Buddhism, the term reincarnation refers to the lives of sentient beings, one after the other, rotating, rotating, until they have attained liberation.
Remember that in the universe, everything from the smallest object, like the germ, to the largest object, like the Earth, is constantly changing, never standing still, but always changing from state to state. from one state to another, from one form to another. Therefore, there is no thing that doesn't reincarnate.
Samsara: For example, a vase, a plate, etc., which was previously molded by a potter, over a period of time, the vase, plate, etc., would be broken, melted into dust and back again. about the state of the soil. This land is food for plants; After a while, the plants or trees die to become fertilizer or soil, or as food for animals. These herbivores enter, or excrete, to form feces, into soil, or turn into blood of flesh and blood of animals, so that one day the body of old animals will decay into soil ... Bao Many times the shape changes, because one fate or another, but the land also becomes land after a long or short rotation.
Water recirculation: The water in the ocean is evaporated by the heat of the sun, vapor rises into the air, turns into clouds, many clouds gather, meets cold air, turns into water droplets, falls into rain, rains flow into lakes, or the air is cold, freezing into snow, ice; snow, ice meets the heat from which the sun melts back into water. Since beginningless time, the water has changed its shape so many times, it still rotates forever like that, but water is still water. The appearance of water varies tremendously, but the essence of water never dies. It is only reincarnation.
Wind of reincarnation: Wind is the circulation of air. The air is heated, stretched and raised by the solar heat to create gaps in the air. If the air is moving slowly, the wind is small, the air is moving fast, the wind is strong, and the movement is faster then storm. Wind has different forms, but its nature is always the movement of the air.
Reincarnation fire: When the conditions are right, the heat emits fire. For example, two sticks in the normal state, we do not see the heat anywhere, but when rubbing them together for a while, the fire immediately turned out. This fire can burn these two sticks, partly turning into coal ash, partly turning into carbon. Trees use roots to attract coal ash and leaves to attract carbon, which store heat so that one day, meeting predestined conditions, the trees rubbing against each other will ignite the fire. So the heat is always available, but sometimes it is in a subconscious state, sometimes in a state manifesting as fire. Our eyes only see when it appears, and only then assume that it is, and when it is in the state of subconsciousness, we say it is not. In fact, it only reincarnates through different states, not end or lose completely.
The world of reincarnation: In the Buddhist scriptures it is said: "The world is as much as the sand of the Ganges." At night, we look up to the sky and see countless stars. Each star is a world, and each world does not escape from the common law of being, abolishing, failing. Every moment there is the arising and passing of the world, one world dissipates, then another world rises, like one wave disappears, another wave emerges, causes and effects, one after another , samsara never ends.
The body of sentient beings: Human or animal bodies, after all, are from the four elements, namely: earth, water, wind, fire, constituents. Skin, flesh, tendons, bones ... belong to the earth; blood, fat, sweat, tears ... belong to water; breathing in and out, jumping heart, breathing lungs, limbs moving in the wind; The heat in the person belongs to fire. As we have seen above, the four elements are all reincarnated, so the human body formed by the four elements must also follow reincarnation. When this body dies and when it disintegrates, the flexible material returns to the soil, the wet material returns to the water, the heat returns to fire, breath and movement returns to the wind. Then these four substances, depending on their predestined relationships, merge into a plant or other people's bodies. When he died, those four substances also returned to their original selves. When I became a human, when I was raised, this year I gathered here, moved to another place next year, not often,
The spirit of reincarnation: Man does not consist only of the four elements. In addition to the four elements there is also a spiritual part, or more generally, a spirit, which is what Buddhism calls: feeling, thought, action, and consciousness. The body of the four elements is only the part that Buddhism calls for rupa. Sac has not been destroyed but only transformed samsara, the spirit or spirit will not be destroyed but only transformed, rhymed.
We all know sentient beings' lives are miserable. Yet sentient beings are bound and bound to samsara forever, unable to escape. Buddhism contends that the cause of the state of being entangled in samsara forever is due to greed and ignorance. Ignorance should not understand the Four Noble Truths, Triple Gem and Karma. It is karma that influences the mechanism of rebirth, it is the engine that promotes reincarnation. So want to get rid of samsara, from the cycle of birth and death, you need to stop the karma brought about by sex and be determined to follow the Eightfold Path to be liberated.
Liberation, in the Buddhist spirit, is liberation from suffering because it clearly sees the cause of suffering and eliminates it (the four noble truths). When an individual has attained liberation, he or she is free from samsara, no more suffering, no more being reincarnated and reaching Nirvana.
