Rebirth 再生

Body & mind (material) and consciousness (spirit) seem to exist separately. Of course, consciousness, mind (brain) and body are interconnected when alive. But when we die, our body and brain will decay but our consciousness will leave our body and look for the next body to enter. In this sense, our body & mind come from our parents but our consciousness may come from different place.

body & mind (brain) = Material
consciousness = Spirit
↓   ↑ (never ending rebirth till Buddhahood)
body & mind (material) + consciousness (spirit) = Humans


体と心(物質)と意識(精神)は別々に存在しているようです。もちろん、生存中は意識、心(脳)と体は相互接続されています。しかし、死亡時に体と脳は腐敗しますが、意識は体を離れ、次に入る体を探すでしょう。この意味で、私たちの体と心は両親から来ていますが、私たちの意識は別の場所から来ているのかもしれません。

体と心(脳) = 物質
意識 = 精神

体と心(物質) + 意識(精神) = 人間
