(Sam_is_30_Years_Old)

Who knows if you will be reborn so soon or not in a future where the world is maybe in a worse state? There are problems with the world but its only been a century or so where we've got grocery stores, the internet, and homes with bathrooms and running waters. Are you willing to give that up for a chance just have to a foid lol...And who's to say you will be reborn in the human form but in lesser form or worlds...

Verse 126: Some are reborn as human beings, the wicked are reborn in a place of continuous torment (niraya). The righteous go to the deva world, and those who are free from moral intoxicants (viz., the arahats) realize Nibbana.

Verse 240: Just as rust is formed from iron, and corrodes the iron from which it is formed, so also, his own deeds lead the transgressor to a lower plane of existence (duggati).

Verse 334: In a man who is unmindful craving grows like a creeper. He runs from birth to birth, like a monkey seeking fruits in the forest.

Reincarnation is a cope/meme.

It's also not a good thing to keep returning here on earth, this is a place of suffering and decay. The goal is to move beyond this place not hope to reincarnate into a Chad body and live a life which eventually will entrap you and you will grow old, get sick and die like everyone else. All the highs in this world are short lived and usually come with a sickly price and are never fulfilling.

Its a better cope than alcohol, drugs or other degenerate activities to escape from your problems or make sense of the world.

Reincarnation is in Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism and probably more im not aware of. If you study Buddhism texts and do serious meditation with groups (Free meditation groups in my city i attended a few times) there's a high blissful peaceful feeling i've reached a few times (no thought states) and you can easier see lifes issues in those states as our untrained minds are shit head liars causing problems for us.

Verse 33: The mind is excitable and unsteady; it is difficult to control and to restrain. The wise one trains his mind to be upright as a fletcher straightens an arrow.

Verse 34: As a fish quivers when taken out of its watery home and thrown on to dry ground, so does the mind quiver when it is taken out of the sensual world to escape from the realm of Mara (i.e., kilesa vatta, round of moral defilements).

The amount of coping going on in this sub is just out of control

don't know unless you try, join a free meditation group in city or try it alone at home.

(No offense, this is a touchy subject)

But the problem i personally have with buddishm and hinduism, is that either its a man made philiosophy (buddiism) or your basically asking me to worship idols (hindu) that can neither benefit or harm me.

I do believe in a creator dont get me wrong, their are signs that an all powerful creator has left us

Fine Tuning of the Universe
The impossible odds of the first cell forming by chance/randomness + natural selection
Trilobites and other Creatures/Phyla from the Cambrian Explosion appearing all of a sudden in the fossil record having absolutely no transitional fossils from the Precambrian era
The Odds of a genetic mutation making a new Functional Protein
The Surprising Limits of Natural Selection

Im not here to judge others and my first comment may have been a bit rude/insensitive.

Im personally muslim, but ive looked at all religions and done my research. Hinduism and buddism just didnt satisfy my questions and curiosity about life, God, injustice in the world, what happens after death etc
