View of rebirth

Rebirth refers to a person's mind taking one body after the other.

our body and our mind are separate entities: the body is matter and made of atoms.The mind refers to all of our emotional and cognitive experiences, and is formless.

when the body and mind are linked, we are alive, but at death, they are separate.

The body becomes a corpse, and the mind continues on to take another body.

Do you believe in rebirth? next life?

As for me, when i was young, i do believe. But if you ask me now, my answer is unsure. Because i never been to death before, i never experience it before. i cannot tell u.

How this world came about here?

it is still a mystery to me, i maybe a buddhist. But i cannot say buddha create this world, or God created it. This world came before they were born, they are also once a human being. They are worship by our ancestors because they had done something great to the religious, they are respected by us.

how this world came is really a mystery, look at the mountains, waterfalls, hills , trees, forests , seas, oceans etc around you, do you think that they are created by us?

my god are my parents.....they brought me to this world.....they created me :)

i understand something in life, not everything in this world is lasting, this moment u grab it, the next second it may slip off your hand.

Conclusion, treasure everything you have now, includes your love one, u mind not know what happen next......

there is nothing call forever, just that there is just once, it happened before......that once is call moment....

Even if we believe it, we may not know it. Haiz...this kind of mythology....well, it will be good if we know we can continue to live on, literally, but then, we may not get to enjoy as much as living our very own life at present.

Jerson:Erm..Just share with you what I had read before..coz you mention you are buddhist..but Buddha dun create the world..keke..The concept for buddhist is that the world create by itself together with the universe, it will then get destroyed after eons of years due to certain circumstances..a short pharse will actually conclude whatever I wanna say..因 缘 而 生,因 缘 而 灭..LOL.. :)
Science hasn't find out how the universe..however they had discovered that galaxies got destroyed by meteor and so on..Scientist has also find some new planet out of the blue appearing from nowhere..how to explain leh??Think no one on our planet earth can really say now..

For myself I believe rebirth..in the past thread that were discussing about rebirth..I did mention about cases of child prodigy and some people who remember their past live vividly when they didn't even traval out of home before..so I believe the existance of rebirth.. :)
