heh, unfortunately I haven't played Final fantasy. I don't know if you'd come back out of boredome however, cause it's not eternal bliss in the christian sense like heaven, more reaching a higher state of being. I'm pretty sure they mean reincarnation in the traditional sense though. on the other hand, I very much agree with you on your philosophy of change.

with the detachment though, I understand how you could get to a point of not needing things anymore, but most buddhists dont' actually go all the way to the point of enlightenment. I'm considering being a buddhist, but not so extreme as to be enlightened, more just as a guide to a better and purer life.


btw, how exactly would these guys you talk about go without food?
