Karma and Rebirth with the West

---

T Karma Blood and Born Again is the basis of Plato's philosophy. People go through a "cycle of necessity". Human sin causes in the first half of the journey, people have to pay in the next half. In his book "Republic," Karma is expressed in character Lachesis, the daughter of "necessity", which in sight invisible beings chose to reincarnate into. Orpheus can choose a swan. Thersites who choose the field. Agamemmon choose eagle. The same way that, some animals become a different person back then too. He became the barbarous injustice, justice and enlightened people become civilized and polite.
During the pre-war period of the Persian people, the meeting of East and West make revolution against the way "eschatology" ( eschatology - about ultimate end of man after death and after the end of the world) simplicity of Homer, and people began to look for a deeper explanation of life. It should be noted that the search was started by the Greeks-Asia Minor-Asia International (Ionian Greek of Asia Minor), but these people is influenced by India.
According to the record biographies of Pythagoras [1], he was born on the DL at the entrance before 588 Samos island. You travel a lot and have studied the teachings of India. The Pythagoras taught theory of Karma and the Western New Birth.
During the book "Greek Thinkers," Garbe historian wrote: "It is not an exaggeration to assert that through the mediation of Persian (Persia) that the Greeks during the Buddha curious acquiring much less precise knowledge about the cultural period heyday of the East. "
Notes Regenerates Other Persons Under Eye
Bhavagad Gita:

"Like other people throw away old clothes to wear new clothes on, dispose of it physically too old to enter into a new body."
"People definitely born to die, and dead sure to be reborn again. "

Herodotus:

"The Egyptians spread the doctrine that the human soul eternity. When the body disintegrates, the soul will enter into a different body ready to receive."

Pythagoras:

"They all have souls, all souls are wandering around in the organic world and the progress in the will, or the eternal law."

Plato:

"The soul than physical life. Spirit and constantly being reborn, reborn again on earth."

Ovid wrote about Pythagoras, Dryden translation:

"The so-called dead is old material in new forms hiss.
"Just as it was a costume change, and in different clothes, put pushed from one place to another, the soul is still only form of innovation.
"And like soft waxes that people poured into the mold, the wax will record images of the face, at once old photos deleted. Only the of change, the wax is still wax.
"Thus was born the start to become something new, something different than before.
"And the new form was also more variable. Nothing left intact form without constantly transformed. "

Schopenhauer:

"We found that the reincarnation of the beginnings start in the golden age of humanity, always spreading among the population, is considered to be the most religious and the teachings of all religions, except for the Jewish faith and the two religions originated from very subtle form of this belief. was the reincarnation changes very close to the truth that Buddhism mentioned. Thus, while Christian Teacher console themselves with the idea of going back to his own experience in a different world, and also will recognize immediately, then follow other religions, the meeting was held back over the years, but we do not be realized. During the continuous rebirths recurrence, those who have or are closely related to each other right exposure will meet again in the next life, also has a connection to each other or y identical, or similar, and the emotions, good or bad, for each other in this life.
"Also, as noted in the Vedic (Vedas) and all the other books in India, theory Reincarnation is considered the foundation of Brahmanism and Buddhism. So far, most of the Asian nations are not Muslims, more than half of humanity, still firmly believe reincarnation and actual daily life is affected by string theory's identity.
"It also the beliefs of the Egyptians, and from Egypt, Orpheus, Pythagoras and Plato were received enthusiastically, and retain special. teachings also taught in the mysteries of the Greeks, certainly can not deny reform is the ninth book of Plato's The Law. "
"Book of Edda, especially in the episode" Volusna ", also teaches reincarnation, no less than the foundation of the Druid religion (a belief system pre-Christian).
"According to everything that is presented, the reincarnation believe in belief itself is the natural result of human decisions when thinking about this problem before but not obsessed ... "(The World As Will And Idea)

Hume:

"Theory of reincarnation is the only system state refers to eternity that philosophy may concerned."

Disraeli:

"There is no simple and systematic, and less impact our understanding of reincarnation. Theory was considered the pain and pleasures of this life as a reward or penalize our actions in a other status. "

Dante:

"And this dear child, where the weight by the time of death, I will come back down here."

Emerson:

"The destiny that we must accept ourselves as prepared by a spontaneous, unconscious, in a lot of experience that we do not show floating value. Perhaps we continue to receive that fateful many more lives, before completing the work pay off. "

Lesling:

"Why do not usually go back to the basics of this new knowledge, new experiences? During each trip, I have to bring the full experience and understanding to not have to bother coming back?"

Huxley:

"Like all evolutionary argument, theory reincarnated soul rooted in reality.
"everyday experience makes us familiar with the facts gathered in the name of tradition. Each of us carries with him the characteristics of their parents, sometimes of distant relatives. Regarding the habits, tendencies action which we call "nature center", often very far removed vertically, from grandparents to children, and horizontally, in the retinue. Thus, we can say that personality, mental and intellectual elite of people, certainly transferred from one person to another and from one generation to the next generation before. Inside the newborn child has latent features traditional, and "we" just a block capabilities, in addition to anything else. But that power very soon surfaced and became the real power, the real power, from youth upwards, blurred expression at the light, while weak, while strong, right time, wrong time, and every change to from this body to another body, the mind's nature to be a distinct different temperaments change.
"Indian philosophers call the" nature "means Karma (now). Kamma transferred from one lifetime to another and connecting lives in a long series of reincarnated lives, and that philosophers hold that in each life, a career change, not only by tradition but also by the his work "

Tennyson:

"Or if I come through the low life, despite all the experience in the past has molded firmly in mind, I may forget some of my weaknesses. Because our first year I had forgotten, the memory acoustics, which frequently back and forth, no loitering. "

Wordsworth:

"The delivery of our message is just a dream and a forgetting. Than stellar soul of life, appear to me today, have a basis in one place and then come here from afar: not perfect in oblivion, not lonely. "

Shelley:

"If there is no reason to assume that we already have pre-existing life start to show, it is not anywhere to be based on the assumption that we will continue to live again after this life terminated. "

Professor Francis Bowen of Harvard University wrote as follows to call worshipers to accept Christian doctrine of rebirth:

"Our Life on a sphere is a normative and a preparation towards later life, noble and more permanent., But if it is limited in time, the truth of a life is short lived, as the difficult and full of important goals like that. seventy years is definitely not enough time to prepare for endless eternity., but there is no guarantee for us that set the stage for the soul to be confined within such narrow Why do not stage it can continue to extend or repeat in a long series of next generation, creating a gas of some amorphous body? From this body to another body, and bring to a body of knowledge gathering, creates behavioral, temperament and nature center available in the period immediately following it. It does not need to know the past of it, although it is subject to extensive and provide results of that past in the present physically. How much longer period of past life had been entirely forgotten, despite contributing significantly to the development of heart and location. therefore no difference between this and the other. responsibility for us not forget that that less reduction. Apparently still affected by the misuse of time, even though he forgot would have been wasted, how and where. Chinh far, we are still repeating the bitter fruit, so where poor health, and damage vile ambition of actions slack effort and unconscious sin has been forgotten, neglected because they are too many.
"absolute If every soul is a new creation, a life to be created completely, then logically, one might ask why Can the soul as distinct from the beginning? If the theory can also move in a government program to reign in heaven, the earth all these difficulties are naturally vanish at once. Standing on the one hand, people are born into a state of their own that make the past your schedule. The theory holds that we must suffer the consequences of ancestral sin that caused a hard lesson. But no one can object to the condition that his own had inherited his own, his own self in a state in a past life. What we call death is only the state that leads to other life on the planet and if life does not get better noble king's life is at an end it was. "

Past life

"I spent lying on the beach yourself
daydreaming and dreaming a little space.
I listen to the waves break and roar.
sun in front of me.
"These fingers on the black caudal hand My
Lazy Grey playing with sand,
The waves crept up the mallet grazing grounds.
withdrawn These wavy sea
and fun wine,
"The medium sand grain, just smooth,
warm on my hand,
also as the little ones that I saw
it sitting here on the beach.
"These small sand grain, brilliant and smooth,
enters through my fingers,
the sun shines down on all ...
And I start dreaming idea:
"All that was formerly how?
How many years did I pass, in the distant past
I was on the beach that has forgotten,
As I lie here today.
"These Glider rising tide.
sands and lighting as well as today.
And in the palm of my antiquity
The seeds sand still warm and smooth.
"where I forget I'm here,
or my home is like.
Or call the sea then I heard this roar.
Through noun that strange and barbaric.
"Just know that at that time the sun to illuminate
and enlighten the day this,
and the smooth grain of sand
on the long finger slid my black and gray. END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.6/11/2013.NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
