	Rebirth (Buddhism) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Within Buddhism, the term rebirth or re-becoming (Sanskrit: punarbhava) is preferred to "reincarnation", as the latter is taken to imply there is a fixed entity that is reborn.
		One school that adopted this view was the Sarvāstivāda, who believed that between death and rebirth there is a sort of limbo in which beings do not yet reap the consequences of their previous actions but in which they may still influence their rebirth.
		Clearly this explanation of rebirth is wholly divorced from rebirth which may follow bodily death and it is possible for a Buddhist to believe in either, both or neither definition.

	Buddhism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Buddhism (more correctly Pāli Buddhadhamma or Sanskrit Buddhadharma) is a religion and philosophy based on the teachings of the Buddha, Siddhārtha Gautama, a prince of the Shakyas, whose lifetime is traditionally given as 566 to 486 BCE.
		The followers of Theravada Buddhism take the scriptures known as the "Pali suttas, vinaya and abhidhamma" (the Tipitaka/Tripitaka) as normative and authoritative; the followers of Mahayana Buddhism base themselves chiefly on the "Mahayana sutras" (sutra/sutta is generally a scripture in which the Buddha himself gives instruction), as well as on various versions of the vinaya.
		Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: It transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural and the spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity.

	Definition of Buddhism
		Buddhism was first introduced into Tibet in the latter part of the seventh century, but it did not begin to thrive till the ninth century.
		Buddhism stands condemned by the voice of nature the dominant tone of which is hope and joy.
		Buddhism is thus guilty of a capital crime against nature, and in consequence does injustice to the individual.

		Thus, according to Buddhism, the present life-process is the result of the craving for life in a former birth, and the craving for life in this birth is the cause of the life-process that continues after death.
		According to Buddhism, there are three factors necessary for the rebirth of a human being, that is, for the formation of the embryo in the mother's womb.
		Thus, according to Buddhism, the present rebirth is the result of the craving, clinging and kamma volitions in the past birth.

	World Almanac for Kids
		BUDDHISM, a major world religion, founded in northeastern India and based on the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, who is known as the Buddha, or Enlightened One.
		Buddhism today is divided into two major branches known to their respective followers as Theravada, the Way of the Elders, and Mahayana, the Great Vehicle.
		Of the possible modes of rebirth, human existence is preferable, because the deities are so engrossed in their own pleasures that they lose sight of the need for salvation.

	ON REBIRTH: Buddhism and Reincarnation
		The Buddhist position on rebirth is always stated to be that the rebirth is neither the same as, nor different from, the one who died.
		Thus even though the Buddhist position is that the rebirth is neither the same nor different from the one that died, I want to claim that the Buddhist (or at least some important Buddhist thinkers) maintains that the rebirth is a different person from the one that died.
		Rebirth, in Buddhism and in other early Indian systems of liberation, was seen as horrific.

	Buddhism
		Buddhism began as an offspring of Hinduism in the country of India.
		Buddhism is, therefore, more of a moral philosophy, an ethical way of life.
		Since Buddha never emphasized his concept of the divine, Buddhism is left with some life's deepest questions unanswered, questions such as the origin of the universe and the purpose of man's existence.

		The principal cause of rebirth as an animal is ignorance.
		Because of this rampant jealousy and conflict, rebirth among the demigods is unhappy and unfortunate.

	Buddhism in a Nutshell - Rebirth
		As long as this kammic force exists there is rebirth, for beings are merely the visible manifestation of this invisible kammic force.
		According to Buddhism we are born from the matrix of action (kammayoni).
		The most valuable evidence Buddhists cite in favor of rebirth is the Buddha, for he developed a knowledge which enabled him to read past and future lives.

		However, it would be more fair to say that by the explosion of Buddhism in the Tang dynasty (618 - 907) the concepts of rebirth and karma had become thoroughly infused into Chinese culture.
		I think it is safe to say that most of these people would believe in rebirth to some extent (and just about everything else, too, like burning paper money to give to their ancestors to spend in heaven).
		Second, Buddhism has also been heavily influenced by Daoism in turn, expecially the Daoist concept of living a non-priestly life as in the case of Zen, which has little to do with the Buddhist concept of Sanga.

		What is unique about Buddhism, however, compared to other religions is that it argues that there is no such thing as a permanent self.
		Buddhism does not deny the existence of a self as such, what it does deny is the existence of a permanent self that transmigrates from one existence to the next like someone getting out of one cab and entering another.
		The new consciousness that emerges in the new rebirth is neither the same nor totally different from the previous one.

		Buddhism is a method of achieving "Nirvana," or liberation from suffering.
		After Buddha's death in the 5th century BC Buddhism thrived in India for 1200 hundred years, when it was eventually eclipsed by the rising tide of Hinduism.
		Since Buddhism does not acknowledge an eternal soul, nor any other aspect of life being eternal, the word "rebirth" is used to connote a more impersonal process.

		It is the author's wish, however, that any such republication and redistribution be made available to the public on a free and unrestricted basis and that translations and other derivative works be clearly marked as such.
		The Buddhist doctrine of rebirth — which is really the same as the law of causality extended to the mental and moral domain — has nothing whatever to do with the brahman doctrine of reincarnation, or transmigration.
		Thus one who says that the non-producing of any new life-process is identical with annihilation of a self, should also say that abstention from sexual intercourse is identical with annihilation of a child — which, of course, is absurd.

	A Basic Buddhism Guide: On Reincarnation
		The common misunderstanding is that a person has led countless previous lives, usually as an animal, but somehow in this life he is born as a human being and in the next life he will be reborn as an animal, depending on the kind of life he has lived.
		Traditionally, Buddhism teaches the existence of the ten realms of being.
		Remember that man is characteristically placed at the midpoint of the ten stages; he can either lower himself abruptly or gradually into hell or through discipline, cultivation and the awakening of faith rise to the Enlightened state of the Buddha.

		So the term most often used is rebirth, rather than reincarnation.
		Reincarnation implies the transfer of an essence, or a soul, while rebirth follows the law of causality, or dependant origination, where this arises because of circumstances which happened before.

		Since the belief in past and future lives has been expunged from Western culture, it is often difficult to achieve an understanding of the concepts involved.

		Drawing on an extraordinary range of original sources, most of them previously unstudied, Davidson traces, in convincing detail, the peculiar blend of conservative monasticism, transgressive esotericism, and political and economic interest that characterized the formation of Tibetan Buddhist lineages and institutions during the early second millennium.
		He deals with doctrine, ritual, institutions, and life narratives with equal insight and flair to build an intimate yet broad portrayal of one of the most fascinating periods of religious innovation and collective transformation in the history of the world.
		He is the author of Indian Esoteric Buddhism: A Social History of the Tantric Movement (Columbia) and the coeditor (with Steven D. Goodman) of Tibetan Buddhism: Reason and Revelation.
