Sa?_?s??ra

i was inspried by 85 last topic shaka the virgo video it was very deep profound filled sadness and filled with joy all in one thats y anime rocks lol. but back to the topic i decided to do some deep research and i happened to read about the samsara symbol and i love symbols because its more then meet di eye.


here wat it says about it.


The concept of samsara is closely associated with the belief that one continues to be born and reborn in various realms in the form of a human, god, animal, or other being (depending on karma).[1] In particular, Jainism[9] maintains that, if one performs extremely evil karma, one can be reborn also as a plant or even as a rock, and similar tendencies can be found in Pur—_?as, in the Bhagavadg??t??, in the Manusm?_?ti[10] and in similar texts. Nonetheless, most philosophic traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism[11] maintain that plants and even more obviously rocks cannot be included in sa?_?s??ra since they lack the possibility of experience (bhoga) and, hence, of karma.


Samsara (Sanskrit: ?_??_??_??__?_?) is the cycle of birth, death and rebirth (i.e. reincarnation) within Buddhism, B?n, Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism, Vaishnavism and other related religions. Colloquially, "Samsara" can also refer to a general state of overt or subtle sufferings that occur in day to day life.

According to these religions, one's karmic "account balance" at the time of death is inherited via the state at which a person is reborn.[citation needed] During the course of each worldly life, actions committed (for good or ill) determine the future destiny of each being in the process of becoming (evolution or devolution). In Buddhism, at death the underlying volitional impulses (Sa?_?kh??ras) thus accrued and developed are carried and transmitted in a consciousness structure popularly known as the soul, which, after an intermediate period (in Tibetan called the bardo), forms the basis for a new biological structure that will result in rebirth and a new life. This process ends in the attainment of moksha. All Indian religions, beleive that each living-being, be it an ant or a human, is destined to attain moksha.

Glad to read your taking an interest in the eastern culture.

Really, a great lesson is that if everything around us is illusional then we ourselves are only part of the illusion. May it be life or death, we are all part of a cycle of life and death. A duality of existence. Nothing more. Everything is only part-time nothing ever lasting.

In fact, the virgo sense and mind goes very deep. Many find the mentality to be very robotic, but I have experienced deep sorrow and joy for others.

As a boy, I was eating at a broken down restaruant with my parents, and a man who was paralyzed came in a wheel chair and began to crawl on his knees with a basket of gum that was hanging from his kneck. He also had a very bad speak problem, but I stopped eating and felt extreme sorrow and pride for him. When he approached us to buy his gum i gave him all the money that was in my pocket which was a 5 dollar bill my father had given me to buy at the store, but I had so much guilt I just wished the man to accept my money as an appreciation to his will at earning cash in such a harsh condition. He thanked me and wished me to take some gum but i refused the offer. As soon as we walked out of the restaruant, i began to cry in my parents monte carlo until I was laying on my bed. My parents asked why i was crying and i told them that a man like him who is suffering so much in an environment like this deserves to be honored. They told me that everyone suffers and that it was just the how life is, and i couldn't accept such an idea at a young age. It lead me to think...

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww what a heart u have man and yea i'm sure u hear me on hear saying i love Japanese culture and amine cartoons and stuff i love 2 learn new things im not one sided and as i stated before i dont like one sided and narrow minded people.

Ahh young Grasshopper, in true Virgo fashion, you must study deeper. 😉

Samsara is indeed the wheel of birth and rebirth. One thing people don't often look at too deeply when studying it is that if one looks at the concept of karma, one will soon realize that they have chosen their experience (in this life). You might say, that your karma has dictated your experiences in this life. However, there are those who are considered to be "bhodisattvas" who return to this life in order to help liberate others from the cycle of Samsara. They will put off their own enlightenment to help others realize their own enlightenment. These bhodisattvas may take on someone elses karma to ensure that person attains enlightenment sooner.

But I digress, Samsara is a good place to start. Also, all karma (good and bad) is to be done away with before one can realize liberation from Samsara. This is done through "non-attachment" which I mentioned in the Shaka thread. We develop karma through our attachments to outcomes of our actions, whether they be good or bad. (Another duality that is maya.) It's through having no attachment to the outcome of an action that one is said to rid themselves of their karma, though they must first live out previous karma (while not developing more karma) or through a fire rite ceremony, called Yajna (which is a "fire-rite" that consumes all karma). There is an actual rite, but the true Yajna rite is performed within during meditation.

thank you lmao ur so intelligent i think im in love lmao im jk what is ur virgo friend he should just claim u as his and call it day woman like u is rare like exclusive shoes lmfao.

and i plan on studying more deeper im just curious to learn new things i guess cuz i have so much air in my chart i gravitate towards knowledge and intellect.

LV - careful there stud. lol

Actually it was because of Eastern "religions" (and I use that term loosely describing Eastern thoughts on God, because it's not a religion, but a way of being), that my virgo friend and I met. He was deeply into it (still is) and we began chatting about it. He sent me a book and that was it. Everything I read made sense, it fit, and I know I must have had a thousand and one questions for him, but he was patient as he answered all of them. We became instant friends and were close ever since. There is a depth to Eastern thinking that is missing in most western mindsets. I really admire it. But I agree! What's up with my virgo friend— lol Dang virgos. lol

im not a stud just a average looking person lmfao

i think the west does need more eastern influence in it that why i love anime because the morals are good and profound and reality based plus heart felt. 🙂

Ks im sure ur virgo friend is fine probably is in his hermit cave and analyzing life lmao.
