Chapter 1 Preface

Dear sirs!Today I will study Buddhist courses with you. I think you will be happy.You have always stood in the education position and have the sacred and solemn mission of opening the window of the soul of young students. They are unanimously respected by people and students in the society!

The Buddhist courses I and you are talking about now are two major issues related to karma and reincarnation.For those who do not involve Indian religious philosophy, those who are used to Chinese Buddhist practices often talk about karma and reincarnation, thinking that this is a unique idea in Buddhism. Therefore, when people hear the topic of karma and reincarnation, they immediately think of Buddhism, as if only Buddhism talks about karma and reincarnation.Yes, Buddhism attaches great importance to karma and reincarnation, and aims to encourage people not to create impurities and defilements and save people from reincarnation.However, what you need to know is that the theory of karma and reincarnation is not unique to Buddhism, but a common idea in religious philosophy in various countries around the world. It is just that it is not as widely used in Buddhism, nor is it as thorough in Buddhism’s views.

First of all, karma and reincarnation are jointly advocated by all religions and philosophies in India, which are also a fact that all the people of India believe in.Except for the theories of the extermination, they do not recognize the value of moral behavior, and do not recognize the return of a new life, and there is no other school that denies these two theories.As mentioned later, the theory of karma was not founded by the Buddha, and the theory of reincarnation was not founded by the Buddha, but was a thought that had long been established in Indian religious philosophy.From the perspective of the development process of Indian thought, many scholars believe that there is a theory of karma first and then a theory of reincarnation.

The theory of the Karma was first proposed in the Adamav Vedic era that appeared around 1,000 to 800 years BC;The theory of reincarnation was sung by people around the middle of the five or six hundred BC, that is, in the late period of the Buddhist scriptures.The theory of karma and the theory of reincarnation are not seen in the same era, and it is not difficult to imagine that the two are not related in the past, and it is also the first thing we should know.

Later, due to the continuous development of thought, it was discovered that karma and reincarnation had an inevitable correlation. Scholars combined two different statements to say that there is reincarnation based on karma.This theory was established around the time of the Upanishads from 600 to 300 years BC.What we want to investigate now is the era of the Upanishads. Why did the idea of ​​reincarnation appear based on karma?Because religious and philosophers in the Upanishad era observed from the perspective of real life, they found that the life of human sentient beings not only has obvious differences in bitterness and happiness, but also clearly has differences in misfortunes and blessings.For example, some people either encounter strange disasters or suffer all kinds of pain in their lives, while others either have endless happiness or high enjoyment in their lives. So scholars think there: Why is this happening when the same person is the same? Although they are confused at first, scholars have been deeply thinking and thinking, but after deep thought, they realize that each person's behavior is different from each person's behavior and activities. The reason why people have differences in pain, happiness, misfortunes and blessings is actually caused by different industries.Since scholars have this clear understanding, the theory of karma and the theory of reincarnation are naturally combined and gradually become a powerful theory, which is unanimously believed by all people in society!

No matter what thoughts arise, they are definitely not suddenly coming out of nothing, but are formed slowly. Therefore, the combination of thoughts of the reincarnation of the karma is also gradually evolved.In the past, ordinary scientists had the law of reincarnation based on karma. Although there was no breakthrough proof of this, with the continuous innovation and progress of science, they have gradually tended toward this idea that India had long discovered.Not only that, modern physicists and progressive scientists have also developed this concept in a specific and subtle way.As they say: Instead of viewing the universe as a great machine, it is better to view it as a great spiritual thought.Therefore, no matter how people move forward now, they cannot deny the theory of karma and reincarnation.
