PaulS Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Okay, so reincarnation might not be your 'thing', but if you want a little fun this website says it can determine what higher or lower life form you may be reincarnated as. Apparently I'm heading towards returning as a Tiger. Grrrrrr. http://www.reincarnationstation.com/ Cheers Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romansh Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) Paul I got stuck on the second page - none of the answers fit me. So I suppose I'm not going to get reincarnated. I understand this is supposed to be a bit of fun but it does propagate a particular aspect of Buddhism and it reminded me of an essay by Stephen Batchelor, where he says: That’s one thing [reincarnation] I have a very agnostic view about. I don’t personally believe that you have to hold any belief in reincarnation to practice Buddhism. To me, reincarnation is a very good example of a metaphor of consolation. Traditionally, reincarnation is actually what you’re trying to escape from. It’s very ironic that Westerners actually think that reincarnation is something to look forward to, because it’s actually what the Buddha was trying to get you out of. from Edited June 6, 2012 by romansh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
