Buddhists do not believe in reincarnation as it refers to an eternal soul that is reincarnated.

Buddhists believe in rebirth where it's the mind that is constantly changing that is becoming (reborn)

Buddhists do not believe in sin as sin can be washed away. Buddhists believe in kamma. Kamma is simply a flux of energy. Wholesome kamma produces good feeling. Unwholesome kamma create choatic feeling in us.

Kamma works on all, regardless of religion

I am new to meditation, and find this video to be great! I have recently discovered an interest in Buddhism after watching the film My Reincarnation. Although I knew of Buddhism before seeing the film, I never truly understood what it was all about. The documentary followed a man who was thought to be the reincarnation of his late great uncle, a Dzogchen master. It shows him throughout his journey of discovering his love for Buddhism and becoming a Dzogchen leader. bitly . com / s5 zU ze? r=bb

@TheFarmerboyproducti There is actually a subtle but profound spiritual distinction. The word reincarnation means "To incarnate again" Incarnate means for a spirit to take on a body. Buddhism rejects this because it implies that there is a permanent base of identity that just takes on a new body. What Buddhism does teach is that who we are is a process, and that this process continues in a new form after death. Is that helpful?

@impermanentoo

i cna absolutely agree with you, but im wondering whats the distinction between "rebirth" and "Reincarnation", honestly it sounds like 2 different words with the same meaning

Buddhism's Noble eightfold path - the path to happiness that is unconditioned. unbinding from all suffering from even your own perceptions and consciousness. Please listen to dhammatalks by Thanissaro Bhikkhu and Ajahn Braham's Talks

@108329876 Ernest Valea is a Fundamentalist Christian writer. How could his analysis possibly be objective?

Christianity teaches that because of sin, part of God became a human and was sacrificed to the other 2/3 of God as a blood offering. Then he came back to life and went up into the sky and now sits on a throne as judge. Then we'll all get our bodies back after we're buried and the good one's get to live forever in Heaven, while the bad ones are tortured eternally...you CAN"T be serious.

Read this article and see that it is much more complex issue than you discribe"-Possible difficulties in Buddhism by Ernest Valea.

My gratitude also to Ajahn Jayasaro not just for this vid, but for all of his insightful and informative vids on Dhammatube. This one in particular has shed some light on something I need to refine in my practice (such that it is).

I feel so fortunate to have been able to hear the Buddha-Dhamma in this lifetime, spoken by so many wise monks, all available on the net from my own dwelling...
