Why must there different schools? Obviously there’re conflicting opinions and opinions, which should not be? Hence, there’re divisions and may not help …. 🙏🙏🙏
This notion of rebirth is not an effective explanation, but simply a reference to old concepts and the reinforcement that “its accepted” by all schools, with further reference to a mysterious higher level of consciousness above the 6th. The reality is no one really knows, so make the best of your life you can by practicing the Buddhist core concepts and helping others. If there is a rebirth, so be it.
@AverageBuddhist88 yes to rebirth, no to reincarnation... rebith happens moment to moment, not only at the end of life.. this is dependent origination

All anyone can say is; Don’t Know
Buddhist believe in reincarnation but not soul? I think buddist believe in soul but not as which is permanent like said nothing is permanent, soul is consciousness and process.
One of the major dissonances of buddhist doctrine... They also believe the phenomenonal world does not exist... from such a retarding position they relate to the physical world... primitive and debilitating
Thank you Venerable Khenpo Ngawang!--I will sit with this explanation
The law of karma states, "For every thought, word and action there will be a definite and corresponding reaction. It's like the law of cause and effect. The questions are, 1) Who created and activates the law of karma and its reactions? 2) Who/what is being conscious and subjected to the law of karma? Karmic reactions are rewarded and punished next life through reincarnation. Who sanctioned these unseen mechanisms?
The inner self, the real ego, the "I", the lifeforce, the one who has awareness, is the eternal, undying spirit soul. It is covered by the subtle mind and the gross physical body. The mind takes shape according to the consciousness, attachments, desires, karmic reactions - human, animal, plant of the spirit soul, like a mold of a sculpture fitting perfectly. It is the unchanging spirit soul (still covered by the mind) that transmigrate or reincarnates. The physical body assumes the shape of the mind complete with sets of eyes, nose, tongue, ears, etc. The bee, butterfly, hummingbird tongues loves nectar, the fly's or pigs tongues loves stool/feces. Maggots, vultures love rotten carcass. Herbivores loves, grass, leaves, fruits. Gender dysphoria is too much attachment to a particular sex. Too much attachment to flying, swimming, sex, pets, etc., Nature will provide bodies suitable to those desires. Of all these changes (body, mind, experiences, consciousness), endless reincarnation, the spirit soul remains constant, unchanging, undying.
When I was a small child of 5 years, I remember complaining that I did not appreciate having to be a child. In fact I told my parents I hated it. I pointed to a birth mark on my side that looked like a wound. Indeed, the birth mark looked like a gash with guts poking out. I explaiend that in my last life, I died from a spear wound at this very spot during a battle. I explained that I had lived in a cave under primitive conditions. I went on to say that this birth to this birth family was punishment for something horrible I had done in a past life but can't remember doing. Even at that age, I knew something was horribly wrong with my parents--not everybody watching these videos comes from a nice, privileged middle class background. So.... If there is "no self," then how can there be rebirth? It makes no sense. I don't know if native Sanskrit or Tibetan speakers have the same confusion, but for the Western mind, it's beyond annoying to hear this. Indeed, when read from a cynical perspective, telling us there is no self but going on to say we have to be reborn, memory wiped, until the end of time, it comes across as a word game meant to confuse everybody or cruel joke. Revenge on the White Devils for their country's rulers invading the East not long ago? Most people watching this video do not want to repeat childhood. The whole point of all this, Buddhist practice, creating good karma, ending bad karma, is to escape mandatory rebirth/reincarnation, is it not? But in Buddhism, we get not clear answers. When I die, I want for it either to end completely and forever, like a deep dreamless sleep, or to be reborn in a place that isn't horrible. But what we hear from Buddhism is: you die, memory is wiped, you are reborn forced to repeat the same thing until the Sun goes supernova. Indeed, no learning can occur, no progress toward liberation, no escape ever if all our memories are deleted, all lessons learned erased at the end of the day. Under the reincarnation scheme that Buddhism teaches, we have about as much chance of being liberated as does an advanced Alzheimer's patient in learning quantum theory. Maybe the confusion is a limitation of the English language? English speakers do not understand the terminology? Perhaps if the teachers started by making sure we understand what is meant by "self," "rebirth," "permanance," ''consciousness," "mind," and whatever else is needed to understand the question, it would clear the confusion . What kind of consciousness? What kind of mind? And f "karma" is what determines the next rebirth, there is clearly something more to it than a generic candle flame or electric current bouncing from life to life. There is more than consciousness that continues. AT least in deistic religions, you only live on earth once, and the instructions for entering paradise/ being reborn in a "Pure Land" aka Heaven are strait forward: love your neighbor as yourself, and have faith. They don't bother with word games regarding the meaning of "self" , "not self", "atman" , "anatman," "soul," "rebirth" "reincarnation," etc. Make a system too technical, and all it does is confuse people. As proof of my statement, I invite the reader to browse all the nonsense posted by the hoards of zen fools, western lay people who brag about how enlightened they are every chance they get--you can spot them everywhere from yoga class to buddhist groups to the local new age health food store, who lurk in Buddhist and New Age discussion groups. This is frustrating, and you can probably tell from the way I write that I don't appreciate this paradox. It's annoying as h***. As I do not want to reborn, the only tihng I can think to do is not have children on account of the chance that I could become my own ancestor. Ick. Sometimes I hope some disgruntled Buddhist virologist determined to end samsara will create a plague virus and genocide the entire human race. Or that the Sun will go supernova tonight. Either one will solve our problem.
Control of rebirth will be a wonderful thing. Rebirth to a good-looking, smart, healthy, and long-living person. Then rebirth to animal. Then rebirth to anything free to choose. What an adventure and exploration. I predict in the near future Mind Uploading will be the controlled rebirth. No born, no death, just keep rebirthing to different sentient beings of different experiences.
No dogma. One has to know onees, thus will know for self. ❤
Thank you Bhanteji, yes it's mind only which is capable of traveling from one life to another because it is non physical and illusory which is created in us for temperory protective measures of self, but because of delusion we think it is real. We hold on to the matters of mind, thereby pushing it to our next existence.❤❤❤ ❤..
The after life is one place I prefer the Christian view over the Buddhist view. Heaven sounds a lot better then becoming sense impressions from a prior life. I have studied Buddhism for twenty years and I know their are different views of the after life amongst different schools. I never understood the higher worlds in Buddhism. Neither perception nor non perception, emptiness and the peak of existence. These were the highest worlds I believe in Mahayana Buddhism. What in the world would the peak of existence mean.
So if we are a non returner are we annihilated in the great void and become nonexistent?
It is the store house consciousnesses or the sense impressions that are reborn. One could say it is the prior life experiences along with conditioning, it is that that is reborn.
The word "INDIAN BUDDHISM" used by the Respected Monk is totally wrong cause "BUDDHISM" was origined in "INDIA", it is pretty critical but he can say that "a BUDDHIST PHILOSOPHY originated in INDIA which is not RECENT but not too OLD".
Excellent. Short and to the point. In the Abidharma texts, it is mentioned the Alaya or Eighth Consciousness as the Store Consciousness, much like the storage of a computer drive whereby under certain conditions like when we input a specific keystroke, a part of the computer drive or data is accessed and so in the next life certain parts of the Alaya Consciousness will ripen when meet with conditions
Thank you 🙏
Thank you Sir.
How can I get the image you're using for meditate, the blueflower
The early teachings of the Buddha were grounded in cause and effect. That's what karma/Vipakka is. Rebirth beyond life-spans isn't logical unless there is a cause and effect connection, without a cause and effect connection there is no ehipassiko, and therefore you can't see it and you can't prove it. Rebirth from one-moment to the next within one's lifetime in a kind of ship of Theseus fashion is directly experienceable. Consciousness goes on after your death in a very obvious way, it goes on in those that are still living. Like steam or flames go on somewhere in the world, after one instance of it goes out. One instance of steam/fire is actually made of many smaller instances and operations, so that's not so different from when it occurs in a different location. The same is rather similar with consciousness.
May blessing and merit be upon you reverend Sir. Thank you.
From minute 16:37 to 17:18 is muted 😢
There's no evidence that mind survives the death of the body. It's like a candle that is extinguished. There is no "container" which contains the imprints of our karma. The imprints of our karma and the fruit of our karma spread everywhere, and is not contained. And it is not channeled to some other particular individual when our body dies.
I feel so blessed to have seen him in person in Richmond California. Did a wonderful empowerment and then after just goes to speak with locals and see how they are doing. Happy to have made a connection to him and I truly would like to attend a teaching with him live again. As soon as possible!!!
Buddha said be your own light and don’t believe any thing unless you know through your own experience. My experience and knowledge says that body and mind is made of multiple constituent elements. Body disintegrates and disperses and gets recycled and so mind should also be disintegrating dispersing and recycling. According to Buddha there is no eternal immortal inner self independent of its indispensable constituent cause and conditions. So there is no inner self that is born or die through body & mind. So past birth and after life are hoax. This life is the only opportunity to enjoy mature and get detached. You borrow some part of your mind and some parts are developed by you. But nothing continues after death disintegration deterioration and dispersion. If mind can exist independent of body it will be like hair nails and dead cells existing independent of body. You are not reborn through your hair nails or dead cells.
the buddha was very clear that enlightenment/emancipation meant liberation of the Soul/Self. to liberate the Self one must cease the cycle of rebirth (the Self being born into another self/individual empirical consciousness).. the Self turns away from objective rebirth and towards undisturbed subjectivity.
Buddhas has said that the soul exist Buddhas also has said that soul don't exist - nagarjuna
I like Buddhist concepts .. but … That’s silly 🤷♂️🤷♂️
I think that the self in Advaita Vedanta for example is ultimately the same that no self in Budddhism
Budhdha principle are not acceptable. Who is that who takes birth as human? Where from and how is enters in womb in a form of sperm? Who manufactured spirm in human body? Say Invisible life force exists but remains Invisible. Each shop of religious beliefs have confused human beings exist over the earth since centuries. One should live simple life without falling into any of religious beliefs of any religion.
Let’s face the true, nothing survives the death. Buddhism was originated in the context of ancient hindu religion and took some concepts from it, some of them in order to gain followers, the concept of rebirth come from that hindu religion, and it was a social tool to keep the poor ones poor and the rich richer, that is the why and the how the concept of rebirth was introduce into Buddhism believes, but the concept of non-self is just incompatible with the concept of rebirth.
In Buddhism is in not a “hope” that mind consciousness continues but I law of nature. Like a river.
May Your Holiness be healthy and live long for many many more years to shower your blessings to human beings 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏❣️❣️❣️

And in my Zen school we talk about Amala Vijnana or Pure consciousness sometimes called “Clear Light” that goes on a very long time but is not impermanent because nothing is. It can just conceptually seem impermanent due to how long it is considered to go on for.
Such a consciousness can also seem to go on for a very long time, but in reality it can only last for a second.
Has modern neurology recognised the existence of the 7th and 8th consciousnesses ?
Good question. No Buddhist can answear it, because he never taught such a thing.Calling yourself a Buddhist instead of what you are, atheists , is self deceptive and dishonest.
What? How is he an atheist? All forms of a Buddhism believe in gods and spirits and all that. So we are NOT atheists. You are wrong
What? Please explain? How is he an atheist? All forms of a Buddhism believe in gods and spirits and all that. So we are NOT atheists. You are wrong.

The answer imho is that there is no self - but neither is there any reincarnation.
