Originally intended to write a message in the form, and did not expect more write more, but to play one another. If you have a special cultural forum just fine.
All my biased opinion and answer the inevitable Moreover, issues related to Buddhist philosophy there has never been a so-called positive solution. But I at least have asked every question different people, they either monks, and some research being done on the issue of Buddhism, of course, there are people on the street. In order to answer the questions, I also made reference to a number of books and websites, and combined with my personal experience, attitudes, at least very seriously.
Forgive me occasionally use some of the wording of the text Zou Zou's annoying, I am not trying to trick, it is less words can not explain the reasons better. So that everyone laughed at the.
Then again, write a one-sided, please message added.
The soul, Buddha and reincarnation - the cosmology of Tibetan Buddhism
In many translated from the Tibetan language on Tibet and Tibetan Buddhism on the inside, we can really see the 'soul' this term. Tibetans are also recognized the concept of the so-called soul is immortal. But in Tibet, the 'soul' of the definition and Han are different, the difference is mainly in the relationship between subject and object.
'Soul' in the Han concept is attached to the body of some kind of moral person. Physical destruction of the time, if the spirit of the so-called souls have not been met, it will leave the carrier of an independent existence, to continue alive when things are not done, it is depending on good and evil is called God or ghosts. Han folk philosophy, the soul of return given the geographical, that is, free is only a temporary phase. Or the World of Ultimate Bliss, or 18 layers hell, the soul eventually to a place. Because of those who have committed certain mistakes or be framed for the soul enter the halls can only be a long time in this world free, this is the most tragic thing, however. So there will be a drama "Black Pot" Record of income and those special soul Taoist monks. In this concept, the carrier living in the most important position. In other words, 'people' is the main, 'the soul' is the object. Depends on the state of the soul and as a 'person' lifetime experience.
Tibet to the philosophy of 'soul' (if we must call it that) is not jumping in the human body's Huner, but a constant energy. Some people call it the mind, consciousness or God consciousness. This energy is independent of all outside of the eternal presence, as the dependent objects, for example, other animal and plant life, or there is no object, it is a temporary sustenance of energy and showed the material form. As a result, Bon, and other folk tales of 'animism' is not difficult to explain.
People talk about Tibetan Buddhism, Revised afterlife, this statement refers to the afterlife certainly not repair the flesh, but through a long period of study and practice Buddhism try to change and upgrade the previously mentioned energy, while the ultimate goal is to enhance energy is to change the whole world, to eliminate the body attached to the hearts of all beings obscurantism and suffering. When this energy to improve refinery to the highest level, it will become a great wisdom, that is Buddha. In the attendance of the process, the so-called 'world' continue to turnover, so pre-existence with the afterlife argument.
Personally, I think, based on this argument, people just ask for the sake of personal interests in order to protect the Buddha, can not help a bit short-sighted vision, though I deeply understand that. A friend of mine for the first time I entered Tibet in order to pray for someone dying patients recovered, when she entered the temple and the deities of the subject and found that all this had no need, because we can not rely on a miracle to survive, nor contrary to nature law. She later told me that she was in Tibet, the biggest gain is the understanding of Tibetan natural expansive conception of death. She takes this view home with the hope that patients and their families were able to correctly understand the meaning of death, thereby reducing the pain and to treat this life soul.
As mentioned earlier, the Buddha is a kind of wisdom. It was an opportunity for spiritual learning and even Dairenchushi way, rather than a specific existence. We have seen a head statues are face with hands of the Buddha is a kind of the direction indicated. It makes learning the contents of a specific object with the projection can easily give rise to uphold the confidence, while avoiding the weak learners deviate from the self-sustaining and even produce mania (Tibetan Buddhism, attend great emphasis on self-control, and some way to attend at the edge of perception, it is easy 'possessed by the devil'). People often say 'Buddha,' refers to the energy into the eternal wisdom, without the need for carriers to continue to attend, but rather into faith and wisdom, be carried forward and dissemination. This is actually a very abstract concept, but not difficult to understand.
The name of Buddha of wisdom, so there are 10 million kinds of wisdom. All of the wisdom of Buddhist teachings are all of these interpretations. Included many of the classic Buddhist master is in fact a number of questions and answers and dialogue on the theme of course, is known as the Buddha's great wisdom. Temple of monks under a tree identified by the content is great wisdom to these discussions.
As for reincarnation, please try the individual's life, and even the concept of humanity aside. Everything seems to sea waves, the so-called life, it is the vast boundless sea. Samsara refers to the never-ending sea surging, personal life is like up there and gone for a small spray of a duo. Have the opportunity to 7:00 o'clock in the evening, when the profile of the street to visit Pakistan Valentine's Coffee House, you're sitting by the window, watching the following non-stop turning circle will never cease to turn through the crowd, they understand.
