The rebirth .. is it true ? why ? if yes why should we avoid it ?

Question

I read some some Hindu and Buddhism text and they also talk about the rebirth many many times specially Buddhism.

what i understand that if i died I'll return to life again -life cycle- so do you believe that ? why ? (logical answers please)

and Lord Buddha call for a void the birth cycle. why is that ? it seems that he hate the life but the other teachings he said showed me that he don't hate it at all. so why he call for avoid this birth cycle - especially if that was true (the rebirth) we don't remember our previous existations.

PS : i post this question in the philosophy topic to have logical answers. so please try hard to explain your point with a logical way. thanks for answering me.

Answer 1

Yes rebirths is true.Lord Budha recalled 450 previous births.To avoid rebirths or get out from this cycle of rebirths it is necessary to realise your true Self.

Answer 2

This is how I see it. All religions have a THEORY it is NOT a TRUTH, no one knows what happens when you die, live, or limbo. All religions claim they are the truth yet there are millions of religions in every country of the world east and west. People believe in theories like rebirth because it makes the concept of dying easier for them and helps in calming their fears. Life is so frighteneing without a belief system to fall back on. That is why religion is so important but ultimately when you get down to basics religious ppl and their beliefes are just that. Beliefs. The fact that they believe with such devotion in something that has no truth to it at all is ridiculous and bordering on psycophathic. You are alive so live and wait until you die to find out the rest. I always say "Dont waste time asking questions with no answers". It will do your head in.

Answer 3

yes its truth actlly it a deep law which may take long to understand.

its not any religion nor any ceremony..

but in yoga there are many ways of self realization.. meaning to develope ones own mind power.

its all abt concentrating ur energy at a point.

to develope ur brain there r some methods.

lord buddha didnt hate life, he just tried to find a way to come out of the cycle of life.

well we should avoid it so that we can live in present..

(we can imagine the condition if people stop living in present instead they start with their past life)

Answer 4

Possible.

In Buddhism and Hindu, there is also h**l. After people have died, they will go to h**l for judgment. If they are very bad, they will be sent to the core of h**l for eternal punishment. If they are quite good, they may be assigned to the shells and will live for improvement.

If they are very good, they will go to heaven and will live with Gods.

For those unclassified people, they may be sent back to live in the earthly live again: to receive torture in this world and have chance to preach the Buddha.

Answer 5

"what i understand that if i died I'll return to life again -life cycle-"

...well, you may come back as a frog.  Or a cockroach.

"especially if that was true (the rebirth) we don't remember our previous existations"

Maybe you've already lived several lifetimes, but as a worm or a fly or a fish or....

Is this something you think you'd want to remember?
