On the Buddhist interpretation of reincarnation

I read it.

It was a story about a very interesting field for me personally
Why are you reincarnating from me? I'll start by talking about it.
Buddhism considers things based on the general principle that there is cause and effect

Reincarnation is not good in Buddhism.
I say that because the cause of reincarnation is obsession itself.

Humans have left over
“Greed” that is easy to leave unattended
Since I leave them alone, greed causes greed and obsession becomes stronger
It also invites reincarnation into the next life

What do you learn about Buddhism
I don't care about greed
Also, in order to notice greed, sit down and face your inner world
Do no evil
Try to do good
I'm working
This is how we live without making the cause of reincarnation on a daily basis
Well, in that sense, the Buddha's teachings themselves aren't fundamentally very religious

For example, let's say I died in an accident while riding a Ferrari, living in a mansion, and doing my best
Then, obsession with that thing became the cause
If there is reincarnation, it is natural that they are once again caught up in that obsession and be reborn in the next life

Isn't it interesting ~

Draw a picture of a Buddha that even a child I know has never seen
There is a kid who makes his own altar.
I've been watching since I was in kindergarten, and that festival method is the right way to celebrate
She's a strange child who doesn't think it's only for this life, even when she sees her praying

Whatever the reason that child was born
First, the basic stance of us Buddhists is that we practice Buddhism in order not to be reincarnated.

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is my humble answer to the question.

“Reincarnation” means continuing to exist as a lost and suffering entity. What is the subject of this is a fine continuum of consciousness that is unaffected by rough bodies or matter, and fine mental inheritance.

Reincarnation will be determined by the continuum of consciousness and the state of karma due to causality (cause and condition) of acts due to ignorance (fundamental ignorance) and distress in mental inheritance.

According to Buddhism, ignorance and distress are treated with wisdom, and by shaming, repenting, and purifying bad deeds that have been accumulated up until now, and by accumulating good deeds to move towards enlightenment through good deeds involving wisdom, eventually, I would like to completely determine the obstacles (affliction disorder/intellectual disability) that interferes with enlightenment, and devotion so that we can reach enlightenment.

Basically, as Maruyama Akitoshi said, it is a place based on Buddhism where I want to work hard to do good deeds without losing bad deeds.

Personally, by studying Tibetan Buddhism, I am deepening my understanding of the state of reincarnation and the state of mental inheritance.

If you are interested, I recommend reading “The Dalai Lama and Reincarnation” (Fusosha Shinsho, by Ishihama Yumiko), “The Gelk School Edition Tibetan Book of the Dead” (Gakken Bunko, by Dr. Koichi Hiraoka), and “The Book of Tibetan Life and Death” (by Kodansha Bunko, Sogyal Rinpoche).

Hello.

“Reincarnation” is an idea that existed in India even before the advent of Buddhism.
When Buddhism was born in India, people in India thought that when they died, they would naturally be reborn into something.
For example, modern people think “water boils at 100℃.”

I don't think Buddha thought “when you die, you will be reborn into something.” However, India at the time had the idea of reincarnation, so I think I was just talking about it. Rather than overturning “water boils at 100℃,” they chose to use it to advance proselytism. The Buddha says “nothing” (I don't understand) about what happened after his death.

Well, when I woke up today, I thought, “I still want to sleep.” He was an “old man who still wants to sleep.” But it's a “monk who does sutras” who woke up and did sutras. After that, I talked to my wife, and it's “a husband talking to his wife.” Then the kids woke up. Today is my final exam. It encouraged me. It's a “father who cheats his kids.” In the meantime, I received an email. I'm in the local fire brigade, and it was an administrative email from the fire brigade. It's a “firefighter checking emails.”
As you can see, today is still half a day, and I have been “reborn” one after another as an “old man who still wants to sleep,” “a monk who does sutras,” “a husband who talks to his wife,” “a father who bursts his children,” and “a firefighter who checks emails.” In this way, we are being “reborn” moment by moment. I think of this as “reincarnation” (birth instead).

As for scientific proof of the afterlife, we will wait for scientific advances.
If you think there was a similarity, it was your previous question. Please reread the monks' answers one more time.

Hello. I saw it. Thank you for posting on Hasunoha.

It was a reincarnation story, wasn't it? Certainly, serious research on the world after death and reincarnation has been carried out in the field of science for quite some time. It's not well known in Japan, though.

Buddhism is taught based on the premise of reincarnation. More specifically, it means “you can't die.” I have been reincarnated over and over again, and I suffer every time. (They are not necessarily born only to humans; they change depending on the rewards of actions in past lives and this world), so we aim for a way to escape the repetition of that suffering (life and death relief). That's why training to gain wisdom is necessary. The ascetic practice in this case is not a so-called life practice; it is an ascetic practice based on Buddhist wisdom. “Life is an ascetic practice” is not ascetic practice because I'm just struggling to fulfill my desires.
If it ends with death, there is no need for ascetic practices or attaining Buddhism. You can do whatever you want while you're alive.
I am a person who cannot complete my ascetic practices in this world, and since I am a member of the Pure Land Shinshu sect, I was born in the Pure Land with the help of Amida, and I will practice ascetic practices to attain Buddhism. If it ends after death, there's no need to be born in the “Pure Land of Paradise.” It is precisely because of reincarnation that it is necessary to be born in the Pure Land.

The Buddhist world reflected in my eyes has been modernized and no longer talks that seem to deviate from “modern thinking” of reincarnation in the afterlife after death. It was probably necessary to distinguish it from magic and the occult of fortune telling. This is not just a monk's problem, and listeners are now also looking for “convincing explanations.”

The monks gradually “learned” and “internalized” their teachings during the modernization process, and they began to talk about reincarnation and the afterlife as “all things in the heart.” I think it's important in terms of looking at the heart, but religion is not “science,” “thought,” “philosophy,” or “ethics.” I don't think they are in conflict, but “they have different roles.”

What has been scientifically proven is not necessarily the same as the world after death conveyed by Buddhism. There is talk that zazen meditation emits alpha waves, but this is a measurement result, and zazen is not done to emit alpha waves. I think it's essential to believe in reincarnation, believe in Buddha's enlightenment, and walk (of course, everyone is free to walk or not walk)
