Rebirth.

 

Kamma (karma) can be interpreted as cause and effect, very similar to the way physicists understand that for every effect, there is a reaction equal and opposite force back.

 

For physics, force feedback forms will occur is not always predictable, but sometimes we can anticipate the reaction and can do something to mitigate the consequences. Currently scientists are using many ways to clean up contaminated environments, and more scientists are trying to prevent more serious pollution. Likewise, the future of our life is determined by the current behavior as well as the behavior of the nearest life and our past lives.

 

Dharma practice is to alleviate the results of the actions under our karma and prevent any pollution aggravated by thoughts and negative behavior. The thoughts and negative behaviors that put us in a horrible painful rebirth. Sooner or later we will die, and so sooner or later we are going to have regeneration. The realm of life that we can be reborn is limited to two types of planes favorable and unfavorable realm. The rebirth where we are depending on our own karma.

 

Karma is created by an agent, a person, a living being. Beings are nothing more than ego, assumed on the basis of continuity of consciousness. The nature of the mind is luminous and bright. It is a known agent of the lens, which previously was a previous moment of consciousness as the cause for it. If we know that the continuity of consciousness can not be an end to hell in a lifetime, then we will realize that there is a medical basis for the calculation logic can be life after death. If we are not convinced of the continuity of consciousness, then at least we know that there is no evidence to disprove the theory of life after death. We can not prove it, but I can not refute it. There are many cases of people remembering their previous lives vividly. It is not a phenomenon limited to Buddhists. There are many people with memories like that but their parents do not believe in life after death or past lives. I know there are three cases where the children can remember their past lives vividly. In one case, memories of past lives so vivid that despite that the parents do not believe in life after death, but by clear memory of the children, now they were convinced. The child not only clearly remembered who lived in a nearby village where I got out, but also have the ability to identify parents of children born before, the ones that I did not get a chance to know . If there is no life after death there is no life before, and we'll find another explanation for the memories. There are also many cases where the parents have two children were raised the same way, in the same society, the same context, though a little more successful than the other one. We find that the reason there are such differences are due to differences in the behavior of the karma of our past.

 

Death is nothing more than the separation of the mind to the physical body. If you do not accept the phenomenon called the mind, then I think that is very difficult to explain exactly what life is. When the mind is linked to the body and their relationship to continue, we call it life, and when the mind terminated its relationship with a particular body, then we call it 's death. Although our bodies are a collection of the chemical composition and physical, but it is a pure brilliance (optical purity) as a kind of subtle factors that make up the life of the organism. Because it is not physical, so we can not measure it, but that does not mean it does not exist. We've wasted too much time, energy, and research expeditions in the outside world, but now if we change the approach and direction of all exploration, research and capacity This inward and begin analysis, I really think we have the ability to recognize the nature of consciousness - the clarity, this luminous - in us.

 

According to the Buddhist explanation of consciousness can not be said to be free of obstacles, it has no physical properties, and the impact from the consciousness of this that every emotion, every delusion, and any defects Human arise. However, due to the intrinsic nature of the mind that one can eliminate all defects and this confusion and create peace and lasting happiness. Because consciousness is the foundation for much of mortal existence and the Enlightenment should have more extensive work on this issue.

 

From personal experience, we know that consciousness or mind depending on the change, which means that consciousness depends on causes and conditions, they do change, affecting metabolism and consciousness: it the conditions and environment of our lives. The mind must be a physical cause like the nature of the mind to give it arises. There is not a moment of consciousness before (pre-conception) may not have any interest whatsoever. It does not arise from something to nothing, and it can not turn nothing into something. Matter can not change the mind. Therefore, we must be able to trace back the causal chain of moments of consciousness in time. Buddhist scriptures talking about hundreds of billions of the world system, infinite world systems and consciousness existed from time without beginning. I believe that there are other worlds exist. Faculty modern cosmology also says that there are many types of systems in the world. Although life was not observed on other planets, but concluded that life can only be on this planet - the planet depend on this solar system - and not on the type of planet other, is not logical. Buddhist scriptures mention that there is life on other world systems as well as on the different types of solar system and the infinite universe.

 

Today, if the scientists are asking that the universe was created, how they can come up with many answers. But if you ask them why this evolution occurred, they were not answered. Generally, they do not explain that it is a creation of God, so that the objective observer, they just tend to believe in the physical universe. Some people say that it happened just by chance. Now the point of view that is not logical, because if anything exists by chance, is like saying that things do not have any reason. But from the daily life of us, we see that all things have a cause: clouds make rain, the wind swept away the seeds that grow new plants. Nothing exists without reason. You can accept that the universe was created by God, in which case there will be many conflicts, such as the obligatory evil and suffering God must also be created. Choose other way to explain that there are countless beings that industrial capacity so they created this whole world as an environment for them. The universe in which we live was created by the desires and actions of our own. That's why we're here. At least with this logic.

 

At death, the power of we are the professional behavior according to one's own appeal. Consequences of their behavior is bad karma rebirth in the lower realms. To prevent your self do not do negative actions, we must endeavor to imagine what we can endure the sufferings of the lower realms not. Once you have found happiness as a result of the positive action, we will rejoice in the achievement of virtue. When you consider the experience of others is as important as our own experience, you will be able to develop strong compassion. That is because you will understand that their suffering is no different with your own suffering and they also desire to attain liberation. We need to meditate on the suffering of the animal realm and hell. If we do not make spiritual progress, the negative behavior will lead us to it. And if we do not feel the unbearable pain of the burning or freezing cold or when suffering insatiable hunger, the motivation for our practice will grow indefinitely. Currently, this human life gives us the opportunity and the conditions by which we rescue ourselves.

 

Reincarnation in the lower realms is reborn as an animal, hungry ghost, or hell beings. According to the scriptures, then hell be determined at a certain distance just below Bodh Gaya, a place in India where the Buddha had achieved enlightenment. But if you were really beyond the distance, then you will end up in the middle of America. So the doctrine should not be taken literally. They are mentioned in accordance with the convention on time, or at a general belief. The purpose of the Buddha appeared in this world not to measure the circumference of the world and the distance between Earth and the moon, but rather preach to liberate sentient beings, beings help from their suffering. If we do not understand the basic approach of Buddhism, we can imagine that the Buddha preached sometimes in a manner contradictory and misleading. But in a different philosophical perspective that his teaching has a purpose, and each perspective brings benefit to the different types of living beings. When we talk about hell, he must pay attention to the more conventional kind and nature belief mass to a special purpose is to make people listen to French practice.

 

I believe that the state such as the kind of hot and cold hells different indeed exist. If the highest state, such as Nirvana and the Enlightenment, there exists, why we are the opposite of the status of the most extreme pain, the mind is not for most things do not exist? Even in human life are also two different kinds of people: some fun happy life and many more, some people have to endure more pain. So all of this difference in experience occurred as a result of differences in the causes - is the actions, or karma. If we go further and compare humanity with various forms of animal life, I realized that the mood of the animals shall not be more subdued and suffering and delusion they also more evident. We still have a natural tendency to desire happiness and avoid suffering. Some animals are wise if we try to catch them by giving them food, they are very cautious. As soon as the food, we tried to run away, but if you feed them with sincerity and patience, they can become fully believe in us. Even animals like dogs and cats also feel the value of kindness, we are acutely aware of the value of sincerity and love.

 

If the level of different spiritual achievements based on the mind has become so subdued, so is also the level of consciousness untamed different. Worse animal realm is the realm of the state as hungry ghosts, they can not satisfy the desire. The hell realm is the reincarnation of the state in which the extreme suffering makes them extremely difficult to maintain student capacity of any judgment or insight. The suffering in hell because of the intense heat and intense cold. Demonstrating this realm exists beyond the normal logic of us. But we can conclude that they exist because we know that the Buddha has proved very accurate, logical, and includes many other important issues, such as impermanence and cause and effect, is the what we can attest with logic. Therefore, we can infer that what he said about the different degree of regeneration also true. Motivation when the Buddha presented the hell realm only by compassion, and his desire to teach what is beneficial for sentient beings to liberate them from the cycle of rebirth reincarnation. Because he has no reason to lie to the mystery this must be true.

 

Every day we have to accept the fact there are things we have not directly demonstrated. I was born on July 6, 1935. I know this because my mother said to me and I believe in her. I have no way to directly aware or logically prove it, but by the people that I trust and believe there is no reason to lie to me, so I know that I was born on 6 July 1935. The deeper issues of life after death and the existence of other realms accessible only by trusting in Classics. We have to prove the validity of the scriptures that by applying inference. We can not quote a superficial way. We must study and apply it to our lives.

 

The different level of pain in the lower realms of rebirth in the clarification of the types of sutras. Some very intense suffering beyond our understanding. If you're born in any place in this lower realm, how can you bear it? Please visit whether you create the causes and conditions for rebirth in the lower realms like that. How long as we stay under the oppression of delusions, the powerful forces of hatred and desire, we'll also forced against unbridled desire in his negative actions, they will actually be the cause for our own sink. If this really happens, then we will have to endure the suffering. If you do not want to endure such pain, or feel you may never bear the pain so intense, you have to restrain my body, speech and mind you do not ply in the area of ​​action will collective capacity that you fall into such a state. The negative has been accumulated must be completely purified according to the proper practice. And because all things are impermanent, there is no evil that can not be purified.

 

The more you reflect on the suffering and more intense feeling that we can not tolerate, the more you will clearly see the destructive power of negative actions. When you meditate on the sufferings of this, you have to imagine the effort you have incarnated in this reincarnation and suffering the misery of yourself. For example, when reflecting on the suffering of hell hot, you have to imagine your body burning, and when reflecting on the suffering of the cold hells, you should think of your body is being cold. For the suffering of animals should imagine so. You are advised to go to some lonely place and tried to enter the whole experience of such beings, major efforts to imagine that you are endure their suffering. You feel as strongly as could not bear the pain, you will feel more fear the lower realms. That leads to an understanding of the capacity to destroy negative actions and suffering caused by them. Then, when you meditate on compassion, this practice will help you grow your love for others are absorbed in the negative behavior very seriously. Right now, if you can develop a fear of suffering as a human being, then you have the means, the ability and opportunity to prevent the cause of your own sink. We can purify the negative and the accumulation of great merit warehouse. We can increase the accumulation of merit we have had, and will have the merit to make it not been destroyed by anger. If we make a proper exercise every single day, we will be able to make his life meaningful.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.20/3/2014.NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
