Title: A Philosophical Reflection on Buddhist Rebirth.
Authors: Lin, Kent1
Source: Journal of Life Education. Jun2018, Vol. 10 Issue 1, p41-66. 26p.
Abstract: In this essay I discuss the rebirth in Buddhism, suggesting that Buddhism inherited this idea from ancient Indian culture, instilled different understandings and amendments, and hence has its unique characteristics. These unique characteristics include illustrating the existence of rebirth from the viewpoint of emptiness and dependent-arising; avoiding mysterious speculation or imagination; emphasizing on moral practice to recognize the meaning of rebirth; stressing the theory of karma, suffering and mind, rather than merely the idea of rebirth, i.e. rebirth can be regarded as an auxiliary understanding of karma, suffering and mind; the rebirth symbolizes the infi nite pursuit of an idealist's dream, e.g. Mahayana Bodhisattva's vow to reincarnate in this suffering world to save all living beings is a case in point.
