Reincarnation Is A Common Belief

The author analyses reincarnation and what it means to the spirits that have just died an experience purgatory against the spirit that has come to terms with death and lived in purgatory. It is an interesting concept to reflect as Adam who has been there a while sees that not everyone gets a great reincarnation, as the human on earth have destroyed what is left.

Plato says “Sleep comes after being awake and being awake comes after sleep. Likewise just as death comes from life so must death return to life again.”(Tolstoy) Plato is explaining that life is like a rotating wheel with only two parts. You will live and then you will die but then there has to be something after that which is life again and the circle restarts, and this process never stops. Plato says “They have stayed for certain appointed periods, some longer, some shorter, they are sent forth again into the generation of living things.” “The inhabitants of the upper realms live there longer than those of the lower realms and without the pains, but they are only more like the Immortals, not actually immortal themselves. When they have to fall down, they are forced to fall back again and are assigned to an appropriate status, depending on their nature and according to their deeds” (hellenismo). It may take years for a person to be reincarnated. And who or what you are reincarnated into depends on the nature of the spirit and what you need to do in your next life. Plato says it’s not by chance you get a certain body or born into a certain family it’s for a reason... “ Famous philosophers socrates and pythagoras also believe what plato believed. They believe reincarnation is real. In Hinduism, it is believed that an enduring soul survives after death, spends a variable amount of time in another realm, and then becomes associated with a new body.”. “Hinduism includes the concept of karma, the idea that the conditions into which one is born are determined by one's conduct in various previous lives”. Buddhists believe also that once some has dies they reincarnate but they believe that who you reincarnate to is based on your karma except for the Dalai Lama. They believe that the Dalai Lama doesn’t get karma because of their “devotion to complete compassion for all sentient beings”

Hinduism is faced with a revolving wheel of life, death and rebirth called Samsara better known as reincarnation. They believe this life cycle is a direct relation to a person’s karma of deeds done. Karma “determines the kind of body, whether human, animal, or insect, into which he or she will be reincarnated in the next

Although these cases are common in the east and among native populations, the west also has its share of similar experiences. The Abrahamic religions that dominate the west tend not to accept reincarnation, but rather in “afterlives” where the soul goes to live eternally after leaving the body. Additionally, some religions do not have any belief in a soul or consciousness at all, concluding instead that whatever we are dies along with the physical body. Regardless, past life accounts happen even in these populations. Research done in European societies found that the essential features of these cases are very similar to the ones found in Asia, Africa, and among some Native American groups. Some of these similarities include very young age,

The Hindu religion encompasses several features that have greatly affected the lives of many Indian people. Karma, for instance, or the belief that all actions produce reactions that a person will ultimately be accountable for, is one of the religion’s most prominent features. This is because another staple feature of Hinduism, reincarnation, is believed to be controlled by the idea of karma. If the quality of one’s actions was poor, in the next life, they will be reborn into a lower caste.

Reincarnation is seen as the rebirth of a part of someone after their death. Whether someone takes a philosophical or religious approach, that part can be either their consciousness, their mind or even their soul (Britannica). Said rebirth can take multiple forms. People are sometimes perceived as being reborn as animals or as human beings, and sometimes that rebirth is merely spiritual or conceptual. Doctrines of reincarnation varies across many religious systems of belief but they often have key similarities such as a notion of merit and a learning process for the individual being reborn.

The story is begin with a dead man called Ximen Nao from January 1, 1950. More than two years prior to this time, he suffered the unimaginable torture in the hell. He is a 30-year-old wealthy landlord Gaomi County, and was close-up shot of a cold day by one of his villagers in the first time land reform. He claim he is innocent, and he declare that he is a very decent man. He explained: “ In the past thirty years, I am a love of labor, thrifty , repair bridge road, do charity in northeast of each temple Gaomi , everyone loves me, I even give out the food to poor people, all of them feel grateful of me.” Yama finally dicide to give him reincarnation as a donkey, Ximen Donkey is born and live with Ximen nao’s consciousness, and ximen Donkey born in Lan lian’s family which is Ximan Nao ‘s hired hand. As a donkey, it has through a lot trouble, finally the same ending of dead.

In the western world, a dominant belief is that after life, a person’s soul is sent to a place of eternal bliss, heaven, or a place of eternal damnation, hell. To Buddhists, this concept is not the norm. Buddhists believe that a person is reincarnated into another life form, either human or animal. What life form a person is reincarnated as is determined by the person’s karma. The concept of karma not only affects reincarnation, but also what path a person’s life takes. While much of the concept of karma is believable and comprehensible by a person of any denomination, some aspects are dependant upon a belief in reincarnation and that a person will eventually be punished for his sins or rewarded

Reincarnation is the belief that when one dies, one's body decomposes, but one is reborn in another body. It is the belief that one has lived before and will live again in another body after death. Carl Jung is one of the thousands of people that believe reincarnation is possible. However, the bodies one passes in

Reincarnation also known as samsara, Is a major tenet of Hinduism. Reincarnation or samsara, Is the process in which one soul returns to Earth in a new body to learn and experience new things while working through your karma, this process repeats itself until your soul is pure and you can finally join the most high.

Hinduism is considered the oldest religion in the world with texts dating back to 3000 B.C., and commonly practiced by more than 80% of the Indian culture today. More importantly, Hinduism welcomes people of all backgrounds and beliefs, even those that are of outside influences (e.g. Catholics and Atheists). The religion is based on the concept of reincarnation, in which all living beings have souls that are reborn into a new body. Life is determined by the law of karma- a soul is reborn as a higher level of existence based on their moral behavior in their past life (Alamu, 2009). Ultimately, a person’s existence on earth is perceived as both transient and a burden.

Buddhism is based off of Hinduism and is also a very big religion. Instead of the complex explanation of Reincarnation from Hinduism, Buddhism provides a more simpler explanation. In Buddhism, it is said that the best way to live is by the middle way. To live the middle way, you must follow the Four Noble Truths. The Four Noble Truths are four rules that connect to each other in some way. These rules are: 1.Suffering is present in all things and nothing lasts forever. 2. Suffering is caused by cravings and wants. 3. Way to end suffering is to give up all cravings. 4. Way to give up all cravings is to live life according to Eightfold Path. The Eightfold Path are eight guidelines to follow. One example is Right Understanding: develop a deep understanding of Four Noble

The phenomenon of reincarnation is not a recent problem. The origins of the idea of reincarnation seemingly date to the Iron Age, about 1200 years BC. Discussion of the topic appears in philosophical traditions of ancient Greece and India starting from 6th century BC. In addition, ancient Egypt culture and Celtic Druids have thoughts about reincarnation in their works (“Reincarnation: Ancient Beliefs”).

Reincarnation usually catches criticism of what it entails from the western hemisphere as we didn’t to put our beliefs into physical things or something we can prove exists. However, when asking religious groups about reincarnation

It is believed that resurrection does not happen all at one time. Instead, it happens many more times as part of a process for mending the world. This is not necessarily the belief of all people in the religion. Like other ideas, there are even differences in beliefs of reincarnation itself. Some say that it would likely happen to anyone on a routine basis and all that you would need to do is live a good life. In other cases, it seems like the beginning of a modern ghost story. It’s believed that reincarnation would only take place if the soul had some sort of unfinished business to attend to. I am not sure what sort of unfinished business that these souls would have. My only idea, would be some sort of closure needed from a living loved one. Another reason that I do not believe in reincarnation is that animals would act very different if they were being possessed by the souls of those that have already passed away. Plants would not be likely recipients of reincarnated souls in my opinion, especially if they are only being reincarnated for unfinished
