On the buddhist concept of Rebirth Personally I believe even the mind is an impermanent entity, constantly subject to change and utter reformation. I think the mind does proceed to have an effect on certain areas of existence beyond the physical body. I recently read and came to understand a buddhist monk's explanation of death, and why an enlightened being has no fear of it. While it's a bit too much to go into full detail right now, the theory is that once you extinguish the self you see that death is no different than one Rating: 5

I actually prefer the concept of reincarnation... even though I understand what you're getting at.

People now seem to think, oh, I'll be reborn. It's 'my' rebirth.

and its not. remotely. the phrasing I always heard was only a remnant of a remnant goes forward. nothing recognizable as I or me or mine... it's identity (if any, I'd say no) is karmic.

I think reincarnation is a better concept. What you are, will be re-incarnated. incarnated into a different form entirely.

but, syntax... its never semantics.
