Some questions which can't be answered

[Bpdboii]

We can never tell with great certainty about

1. What will happen after we will die?
2. Is there a second life?
3. Will the people who ctb will ever be able to get to heaven (if parallel universe exists)
4. Is there a God? If not, then who made the universe and all of us?
5. If he exists, why he is giving pain to some people and happiness to others?
6. What exactly happen after the death?

It will help alot of people who want to decide about ctb.

1. who knows. There is only one way to find out.
2. most likely, yes.
3. there is no heaven.
4. no, there is no god, not in a religious way.
5. god cannot be a he or she, because it does not exist. Fate and karma is doing it.
6. your consciousness will slip away. My opinion only. Who knows for real.

I believe that whatever bloomed from nonexistence to existence set in motion complex algorithms that would play out in its own course. Neither a thinking or feeling God, but a source of the Absolute that likes experiencing itself through the story it manifested. No predetermined paths, just infinitely branching realities with no reason other than "because". There is no good or evil from its perspective. It enjoyed being a lion hunting the same it enjoyed being its prey eaten. Just like how it appreciates seeing through the eyes of a dictator as well as the condemned. It is the ground and the air and even the emptiness of space. If reincarnation occurs for human souls, then that may be another cog in the great wheel of Being. Even time and space exist in this kind of dream- but outside of it all, beyond anything possible for a human to really comprehend, nothing actually existed at all.

1 and 6 r the same question #andyouthoughtiwouldntnotice

 

[LastFlowers]

Anyone choosing to CTB should expect nothing after death, as in all likelihood, nothingness is what you will get.
There are some people here who think they are just moving on to the next life and some higher power will welcome them with open arms.
That is a dangerous thought process.
When you weigh your life's circumstances against death, they should be weighed against "an end", an end to everything good and bad, not "an unknown" or worse yet, wishful and fantastical thinking.

Unfortunately there is no way for anyone of us to answer these questions but I know you knew that already. I think of the same things too and it makes me even more said to do it! But I need to be out of this physical pain.

the afterlife is whatever you want it to be.

What do you base #2 on?

 

[Lethe]

Well after your death, billions upon billions of years will pass. Who's to say you won't pop up somewhere else in that time, just out of chance?

 

[Rachel74]

I hope there is a after life then I think fuck my mom will give me hell for CTB!
There is no god. If there was why all this suffering. Hell is earth.

Reincarnation fixes a lot of spiritual moral delimas.

I believe in the Buddhist view. Endless rebirth until nirvana is attained. This includes rebirth as animals and all sorts of other beings. Infinite universes and other worlds, it's not restricted to planet earth. Buddhism teaches that suicide is not a good way to end your life.

Do buddhists see the universe as a living thing?

Do buddhists see the universe as a living thing?

In a sense yes. Our minds in it's true nature is like limitless space and universes and beings are formed by our collective karma. It's a complicated thing to discuss and my cognitive ability these days are not very good neither is my memory for buddhist cosmology..

In Buddhism sentience/life does not just arise from inanimate matter, but it's not created by a omnipotent god either.

So could the development of life and the spiritual evolution through reincarnation to achieve nirvana be seen as a way to ultimately escape the suffering of life?

In buddhism it's only trough accumelation of merit(goodness) and liberating wisdom(insight into non-duality) that freedom from cyclic existence and suffering can be attained. And it's mostly as humans we have the ability. In the lower realms, we don't have the ability and in the higher realms of asuras and deva's they lack the motivation.
