SECRETS OF BIRTH,DEATH, RE-BIRTH REVEALED !!! = = = = = = = = = = = = == = = = = = = = = = = = == = = = = = = = = = = = = "An urge is present in all the creatures including the humans.That 'urge' rises upto a certain pitch through Gene and at the time of death,remains engraved in the psycho-plasm in that same pitch in the form of wave. During the process of fertilisation, when an equivalent wave form of the urge is produced in the vital sperm (that fuses with the ovum), tuning takes place and the dead can attain a new body in the form of re birth. This is the revolving process of birth and death." Ref. [Alochana Prasange, Alochana, Magh, 1401, page 137] *********************** 1.yam yam bàpi smaran bhàvam tyajatyante kalebaram| tam tamevaiti kounteya sada tadbhavabhavitaha|| ("O son of Kunti! Everything leaves an impression in the mind and the summary of these impressions influences our consciousness at the time of death".) Ref. [Srimad Bhagvad Gita, chapter8,6th shloka] 2.dehinosmin yatha dehe kaumaram yaubanam jarà| tatha dehantarapraptiardhirastatra na muhyati|| ("As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death.") Ref. [Srimad Bhagvad Gita, chap2, 13th shloka] *********************** "In the teaching of the Buddha, all of us will pass away eventually as a part in the natural process of birth, old-age and death and that we should always keep in mind the impermanence of life. The life that we all cherish and wish to hold on. To Buddhism, however,death is not the end of life, it is merely the end of the body we inhabit in this life, but our spirit will still remain and seek out through the need of attachment, attachment to a new body and new life. Where they will be born is a result of the past and the accumulation of positive and negative action, and the resultant karma (cause and effect) is a result of one's past actions. This would lead to the person to be reborn in one of 6 realms which are; heaven, human beings, Asura, hungry ghost, animal and hell. Realms, according to the severity of one's karmic actions, Buddhists believe however, none of these places are permanent and one does not remain in any place indefinitely. So we can say that in Buddhism, life does not end, merely goes on in other forms that are the result of accumulated karma.
