Presentation transcript:

Reincarnation and Rebirth To explore the difference between rebirth and reincarnation. To evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of these theories. Do Now: How would you define reincarnation? How might this be different to rebirth?

In your own words explain what these two are and what is the difference between them… Rebirth is mostly connected with the principles of Buddhism based on the doctrine of redirection. Buddhism opposes the notion of existence of eternal soul. According to Buddhism, a person is made of mind (nama) and matter (rupa). Rupa or matter is the manifestation of four forces namely – earth, water, fire and air. It considers mind to be the most important ingredient of a being. When a person dies and reborn again, then it is neither absolutely the same nor entirely another. It is defined as a continuity of a particle life flux only. It reflects just a causal connection between the previous life and next life. Reincarnation is a belief that the soul of a person survives even after the death. Thus, soul takes a new body in next birth. It is just the migration of soul from one body to another. The concept has been defined in detail in Hinduism, where a person is considered to be composed of two principles – one is the atma or soul which is eternal, and second is body, which is materialistic and of temporal nature. After death, body perishes but soul exists and just gets transferred to another body.
