Showing results for "Reincarnation" in Buddhism

As much as we might try to resist, endings happen in every moment—the end of a breath, the end of a day, the end of a relationship, and ultimately the end of life. And accompanying each ending is a beginning, though it may be unclear what the beginning holds. In How We Live Is How We Die, Pema Chödrön shares her wisdom for working with this flow of life—learning to live with ease, joy, and compassion through uncertainty, embracing new beginnings, and ultimately preparing for death with curiosity and openness rather than fear.

Reincarnation has been a popular belief in cultures throughout the world for many millennia. The possibility that we lived before and may be born again, whether as a human or in some other form of existence, continues to fascinate us and features heavily in popular novels and movies, and also as a subject of recent scholarly studies. Although Buddhism is one of the religious traditions best known for asserting rebirth, the history and scope of Buddhist approaches to the idea has not received comprehensive treatment—until now.

Von der Wiedergeburt der Seele. Der Dokumentarfilmer und Bestsellerautor Clemens Kuby hat vielfältige Belege gesammelt, die das Konzept der Reinkarnation begreiflich machen. Im Zentrum steht die Geschichte des tibetischen Lama Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche, der 1993 tödlich verunglückte und 1995 wiedergeboren wurde. Die Suche nach den Beweisen für diese Wiedergeburt erklärt anschaulich die Lehre der Reinkarnation. Sie ist ein großartiger Beweis für die Kontinuität unseres Bewusstseins: Jeder Mensch besitzt eine unsterbliche Seele, die sich in immer neuen Formen verkörpert.
