Among the hardest-to-understand parts of his teachings of Buddhism is one of rebirth, because Buddhism is not a "soul" in the sense of other religions know. Since it is of particular interest when the Milindapanha , a Buddhist scripture from the 2nd Jh.vuZtr., This difficult problem with examples is explained. The conference deals with issues that the Greek King Menander, who ruled in the north-western India, turned on the Buddhist monk Nagasena.
asks the king, who is called in Scripture Milinda, the Nagasena point:
If one is born again, is it the same (who died) or is it someone else?
Nagasena said
neither the same nor different. Just as the infant is not the same as the adults, ... as the fresh milk is not identical with the thick milk, so the deceased is not the same as the re-born, and yet together a chain of dharmas (factors of being) in unbroken continuity to each other.
asked Elsewhere, the King
How can the rebirth take place without something (a soul) moves across
Answer:
Exactly as you light a candle to another, or like a verse that was recited by a teacher who is nachgesprochen by the students.
The above quotations (from the Path to Enlightenment, trans. And ed. Helmuth von Glasenapp) are of course no definitive answers but to stimulate further reflection. Ultimately, however, the answer is probably only in spiritual ways, ie inside the meditation to be found.
After Arthur Schopenhauer rebirth and time again is the manifestation of the border (metaphysical) "will", which comes in new existences always expressed. This process is not understood as "souls" (metempsychosis), but in the sense of a permanent renewal of all existence (palingenesis).
does the rest:
the will to live, life is certain. (Schopenhauer)
