The Love We Share, The Trust We Have..
Wednesday, January 24, 2007


Last Year September retreat, Mr. Eng gave us a talk on ‘Rebirth’. However, I did not pay attention as I was very tired. When we were packing up, I asked Zhen Feng a few questions and I also found out the answers myself… …

Q: where does a man come from and where is he going?

A: When we die, the mind, with all the tendencies, preferences, abilities and characteristics that have been developed and conditioned in this life, will re –establish in the the fertilized egg. Thus the individual grows, is reborn and develops a personality conditioned both by the mental characteristics that have been carried over by the environment. The personality will change and be modified by conscious effort and conditioning factors like education, parental influence and society and once again at death, re-establish itself in a new fertilized egg. This process of dying and being reborn will continue until the conditions that cause it, craving and ignorance, cease. When they do, instead of being reborn, the mind attains a state called Nivarna and this is the ultimate goal of Buddhism and the purpose of life.

Q: How does the mind go from one body to another?

A: Think of it, being like radio waves. The radio waves, which are not made up of words and music but energy at different frequencies, are transmitted, travels through space, arte attracted to and picked up by the receiver from where they are broadcast as words and music. It is the same with the mind. At death, mental energy travels through space, is attracted to and picked up by the fertilized egg. As the embryo grows, it centers itself in the brain from where it later “broadcast” itself as the new personalities.
