After Death Buddhist Questions How does Buddhism view death?

Within 49 days of death, a person must decide where to go. Buddhahood is usually given within the first 14 days. After 14 days, it was very difficult to meet the Buddha again. Unless you concentrate on chanting Buddha at that time, you may be able to change the situation you encounter.

There is a special circumstance that within 49 days, no matter which one is unwilling to reincarnate ... will become a lonely ghost!! Actually, this still belongs to the ghost road.

However, according to Tantra, lonely ghosts are very miserable!! Because the full name of the ghost road is "Russian ghost road", it is rarely eaten, or there is no food at all. But the lonely ghost usually doesn't even have a chance to eat, and there must be other more terrible things waiting for this lonely ghost!

In this case, for ordinary people who become lonely souls and wild ghosts, the feasible way is to chant Buddha in the hope of using Amitabha's great wish to help themselves and get rid of suffering!

Thank you! Amitabha!

1. Passing away. Because self-nature is neither born nor destroyed, neither increased nor decreased, neither impurified nor impure. To live is to die, and to die is to be reborn.

2. Buddhism believes that there are four types of death:

1) Death at the end of life: This is the so-called end of life of the slag, just like the lamp oil burns out, the lamp will naturally be extinguished, and the longevity that ordinary people expect is actually an upper limit. The so-called "there are those who are born and die in the twilight, those who are born in spring and summer and die in autumn and winter, and those who die in ten years, a hundred years, and a thousand years.

It means that life expectancy is limited, and it is impossible to escape.

2) Death at the end of the blessings: The scripture says: "The world is ignorant of life and death, and the naked eye is ignorant of sin and blessing."

The lifespan of all sentient beings is like a bubble in the water and soil, and once all their blessings are squandered, they will naturally die. This is the same reason that a rich man who has lost his money becomes a beggar and will eventually starve to death and freeze to death.

3) Death quietly: It is generally called "horizontal death", which is not supposed to die, because of an accident, unable to avoid it and the head is different, such as: death in battle, death in a car accident, assassination, and being bitten by tigers, leopards, jackals, and ......etc., are difficult to know in advance, as the saying goes:

Three inches of qi are used in a thousand ways, once impermanence is resting", is to describe this kind of change.

4) Death freely: The first three kinds of death are unpredictable and involuntary, but this kind of free death can be grasped and autonomous, that is, the realm of "life and death freely" in Buddhism. There are many profound ancient virtues in Buddhism, which are born if you want to be born and die if you want to die, and you are not bound by the general limits of life and death.

1. In Buddhism, the death of a person is called rebirth, which is the end of this period of life, and the beginning of the next life. As for going to ** to be reincarnated? It depends on what causes this person planted before he was born?

2. We talk about planting melons and getting melons, planting beans and getting beans, this person has more good deeds and few evil deeds before his life, and he will be reborn into the good way, and the good way is humanity and the way of heaven. If there are many evil deeds and few good deeds, he will be reborn in the evil realm, that is, beasts, hungry ghosts, and hells. If this person practiced the Dharma before his death, could keep the vows and recite the Buddha and made a vow to go to the Western Elysium, he would be able to go to the Pure Land of Amitabha Buddha with the power of the Buddha when he died.

3. The Buddha told us that if a person can keep the vows and recite the Buddha and vow to live in the Western Elysium, he will not necessarily be reincarnated in the six realms in the future, but will be reborn in the West, and he will be reborn in the West beyond reincarnation. Some people don't believe that there are six realms of reincarnation, and the Buddha told us very clearly in the sutras that the six realms of reincarnation do exist, the so-called hells, hungry ghosts, animals, asuras, humans, and heavenly paths, these are the six realms. I think a lot of people don't believe it, and I'll give you an example, a lot of us haven't met our great-grandparents, but we all believe that our great-grandparents do exist.

Therefore, not being able to see does not mean that it does not exist, it is a relationship between our own small mind and short-sightedness.

4. In short, Buddhism talks about cause and effect in three lifetimes, a person's life in this life is created by the past life, and the next life is created by this life, and the initiative lies entirely with each person.

Amitabha!

After death, the six realms of reincarnation will continue, unless you practice karma or rebirth in the Western Elysium.

Master Jingkong ---The cause of heaven and man is the highest grade ten virtues, plus a compassionate and joyful giving, called the four immeasurable minds, the cause of man, the five precepts, which are the five constants in China. If you are able to keep the Five Constants, you will not lose your body in the next life; If you are unkind, unrighteous, rude, unwise, and unfaithful, you have gone to the Three Evil Paths. In the Three Evil Realms, the karma of the hungry ghost path is greed, greed falls into hungry ghosts, anger falls into hell, and stupidity becomes animals, which is the strongest karma.

1 Everyone has different roots, different habits, and different karma, so the retribution they feel is different. There is retribution in this life, there is retribution in the afterlife, and the afterlife is the six reincarnations. What kind of cause we have created in this life now, what kind of retribution we will receive in the next life, and the karmic karma will not be happy at all.

2 What is the reason why someone who has done evil in his life, who has done all kinds of evil, and who has not seen bad retribution in this life, who has lived a very good life?The good that he has accumulated in his past life is too great, and his current enjoyment is the blessing of his past life, and he has not finished enjoying it, and the karma he has created in this life is not present.

3 If he did not have much good karma in his past life, but he created great evil in this life, and in this life there is retribution in front of him, or he is sick, or he is robbed by others, or he is in prison for breaking the law, what is that?That's not a lot of blessing in a past life. If it is a great blessing, it will not be a blessing until the end of its life, but the retribution is in **?

Evil retribution in the afterlife.

4 Like Li Shimin, where did he go after he died?I went to the Animal Path. There are about a few decades in the animal path, and then it turns to humanity, and humanity is about one life, and we think that it is only a few decades, and after death, the hell road goes, and it has been in hell.

5 Why didn't he go straight to hell when he died?He has surplus blessings, and surplus blessings cannot get a human body, and the beast goes;After the beast Dao is finished, there are still a lot of blessings, and he came to the world again to be an ordinary person. After he died, the karma of hell came to the fore.

6 Therefore, when a person dies and goes to **, the first thing is karma, and whichever karma is strong will take you away. The Buddha made it very clear in the scriptures that the karmic causes of the Ten Dharma Realms are immeasurable and very complex, and that the Buddha's teachings are skillful and convenient, and the Buddha found the most important factor in many complex factors to explain to us the karmic causes of the Ten Dharma Realms.

7 What is the first factor in the complex causes of the ten dharma realms, from Buddhas and bodhisattvas to hells?The Buddha has brought it out to us, the mind of equality is the mind of the Buddha, the mind of the six degrees is the mind of the Bodhisattva, the twelve causes are the mind of the mind of the Enlightenment, the four truths are the mind of the sound and hearing, the cause of heaven and man is the ten virtues of the highest grade, and there is a compassion and joy of giving, which is called the four immeasurable minds, the causes of people, and the five precepts, which are the five constants in China. If you are able to keep the Five Constants, you will not lose your body in the next life; If you are unkind, unrighteous, rude, unwise, and unfaithful, you have gone to the Three Evil Paths.

8 Among the three evil realms, the karma of the hungry ghost path is greed, greed falls into hungry ghosts, anger falls into hell, and foolishness becomes animals, which is the strongest karma.

After the death of the person, this life form of the person is gone. The material energy that forms the body and mind is partially returned to nature. The nature that forms an intelligent life chooses one of the six life forms of heaven, man, asura, animal, hell, and hungry ghost to form a new life form.

Which one to choose depends on past karmic habits.

The vast majority of people will be reincarnated, and all beings in this world are born and died, and died and were reborn; Born and died, died and reborn, and so on and so on, turning around in the six realms of reincarnation (the path of heaven, humanity, the path of asuras, the path of hell, the path of hungry ghosts, and the path of animals), so it is called the continuum of life and death. This life is from the habit of obedience, and all sentient beings are willing to follow this life; When he dies, he circulates with the changes in karma, that is, with the karma he has created.

Before a person leaves the eighth consciousness, this is called unrelenting.

When this sentient being is dying, all six consciousnesses are gone, and the seven consciousnesses are gone, leaving the eighth consciousness behind.

Wherever this eighth consciousness goes, it is simmering and hot. For example, if this eighth consciousness goes from the center of the foot, the heart of the foot is hot. Walk from the legs, and the legs are hot. At this time, this is a present yin, and this is now this five yin body.

If you fix this yin, it will become a Buddha; If you don't practice, it's a ghost.

At this time, good and evil in a lifetime suddenly appear: in this life, if you do good things, you will be born in heaven, and if you do evil things, you will fall into hell; Whatever karma you create, you will receive the retribution at this time. If you do a lot of good deeds, you will start from the beginning; If you create too much iniquity, you will walk on your feet.

Then from the top, this is the up; To go from below, this is falling, this is falling. Therefore, this has a way of expression and performance, so it is said that "all the time is suddenly present", and it is immediately revealed.

Because of this, the method of chanting the Buddha is like this, and the other methods of zazen, mantra and teaching. If you don't have this habit in normal times, when you use it, it's too late.

After death, the bardo body stage.

During this period of 7749 days, there will be many judgments in the underworld. After the judgment, good karma is heavy, and you are born in the good way; If the negative karma is heavy, it will be born in the evil path. This is the general situation of life and death.

How to go to auspicious places after death.

Within 49 days, you can help him recite precepts, chant sutras, recite mantras, recite the Buddha, make offerings to the Three Jewels, release life, print Buddhist scriptures, build stupas, create all kinds of benefits, and make offerings to the Three Jewels to save him.

Does the soul really go to another dimension after death? Scientists give explanations, which are unexpected.

Buddhism believes that death is simply the disappearance of the form of life. In this regard, Buddhism cites the Indian Brahmanical theory of "reincarnation of life and death".

What is the cycle of life and death, the Buddha said: Death is only the disappearance of life forms in this period, and when we leave this world, we cannot do without the six realms of reincarnation, and we cannot do without the three worlds like a burning house. Life will continue until we leave birth and death, and all the karma we do will follow and influence us.

The six paths of Buddhism refer to the way of heaven, humanity, the path of Shura (god), the path of life, the path of ghosts, and the path of hell, which are all due to the five precepts and ten virtues and the ten evils and five rebellions (the opposite of the ten virtues is the ten evils, killing the father, killing the mother, killing the arhats, destroying the harmony of the Sangha, and coming out of the body and blood of the Buddha, which is called the five evils);

The five precepts and ten virtues are divided into three qualities, the upper, middle and lower, the three realms of heaven, man, and Shura, and the ten evils and five adversities are divided into the lower, middle, and upper three crystals, and the three realms of life, ghosts, and hell. To do good karma, you are born in the upper three realms, and to answer the ears to do bad karma, you are born in the lower three realms.

In each category, the end of one period of birth and death, and the beginning of another, is the birth and death of birth, and in this way, in the six realms, birth and death, death and death, it is called samsaric birth and death.

Buddhism has never thought that when a person dies, there is nothing.

The six successive reincarnations are the reincarnation of life and death, which is endless.

This is a judgment, and it is not right.

During the end of the Dharma period, hundreds of millions of people practiced, and it was rare to attain the Tao, and only by reciting the Buddha could they live and die!

- The Great Collection of the Moon Sutra

Whether you die or not depends on whether you have faith or not, and the quality lies in the depth of chanting Buddha.

If your faith is strong, you will have one thought at the end of your life. If there is no faith, even if the name is not blown in and the rain is not wet, like a silver wall and an iron wall, there is no reason to live. ”

- Master Huiyi, the Nine Ancestors of the Pure Sect, "Mida to Explain".

There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south!

Amitabha! For Buddhism, it's not right to wait until you're dead to prepare! For Buddhists, blissful rebirth is their ideal.

So how can we be reborn in bliss? 1.Have compassion 2, recite the Buddha 3, don't break the vows, and so on.

Generally, if the monk has passed away, there will be a great monk of the monastery, that is, the abbot, to handle it for the master of the past death, including transcendence, giving a nickname, and choosing a site for burial. If there is a real body relic, it still needs to be offered. If you are a layman who has passed away, then you have to go to the monastery and ask the master to be the abbot of all the descendants.

Including transcendence, offering to the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. Repent of the sins committed in his lifetime, so that he will not be reincarnated and be reborn in the Elysian World. One week is one period, also called the first seven, and there are two phases, until the seventh seven, it is considered complete.
