Classification of death in Buddhism, how does Buddhism view death?

In Buddhism, there are two kinds of "life and death." "Segmented life and death" and "change life and death".

Segmented Life and Death: Simply put, from life to death is a segmented life and death. Talking about every year, every month, every day, every minute, and every second is life and death at every stage. Change of life and death: For example, the bodhisattva ascends from the ten dwellings to the ten elements and the ten dedications to ......That is to say, the ascension of the realm belongs to the change of life and death.

What is the classification of death, it flows with karma, good causes and good effects enter the good path, and evil causes and evil effects enter the evil path. Buddhism talks about enlightenment, telling the path of liberation, and there is no classification for it, but it is all about reincarnation of the six realms according to one's own karmic karma.

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.

Buddhism is not afraid of death, believing that death is just a cycle and endorsing the view of cause and effect.

Buddhism believes that the world is a process of selling and circulating, and life in the world is only one of the links. The present life is the result of the previous life, and the next life is the continuation of the previous life, one life to another, and there is no end. As long as a person has not attained ultimate liberation, he will be reincarnated in the six realms, that is, in the hells, hungry ghosts, animals, asuras, human beings, and heavenly streams**, he will enter the next cycle of life.

As the Sutra of the Heart says:"The sentient reincarnation of the six realms of life is like a wheel without continuity. "As for which one a person enters after death, it depends on how well he cultivates and accumulates virtue in this life. The past life determines the present life, the present life determines the next life, and the three lives are connected by a chain of cause and effect.
