I have decided to do my posting for a while on Twitter. I have managed to post a few gems now and then. Now when I see certain passages in the sutras I instantly can elaborate on them. Here is just one example.
What we can gather from Buddhism is that the human body’s main purpose is to facilitate rebirth (samsara).
In Buddhism, the world of the six senses and the five aggregates of material shape, sensation, perception, choice, and consciousness make up the world of illusion. Suffering occurs when the real attaches to the illusory.
Right now I am leaning toward the view that Westerners need more Buddhist schooling in rebirth which is coordinate with suffering.
Since beginningless time we have been the player in many birth & death reality games which brought only suffering in the end. In Buddhism this is called rebirth; what transmigrates is perceiver-percept cognition (vijñāna) which is the same as the Hindu jivātman.
