RE: The Early Schools of Indian Buddhism Series
So a person can be born up to seven times and then it ends. And I take it a person who is doomed when they die they just cease to exist their Spirit has no energy them. It would be interesting. Understand the afterlife if there is one. Thanks so much and I truly enjoyed reading it. @reddust
@enjoywithtroy that is the wrong view in Buddhism, we must walk through the middle of eternalism and nihilism, it's about letting go of concepts, labels, and habits (Our personal conditioned way of seeing reality). Some questions Buddha didn't answer because it would not help us humans let go of our self caused suffering, I guess you need to become a Buddha to know some of these universal paradoxes. However, there is extensive doctrine on this subject, but I am not very good at the philosophical level of debate. I am a meditator, my husband is the philosopher, and he does not like social media. Mind and Matter (Nama-Rupa) "What is mind? No matter. What is matter? Never mind." You are #agoodegg
Venerable K. Sri Dhammananda Maha Thera, Eternalism and Nihilism - The Buddha rejected both extremes of eternalism and nihilism.
