What Happens When We Die? - Who Lives and Dies? (1)
Is there life after death? The Buddha taught rebirth, but what exactly did he teach? What’s the evidence for rebirth? Do we have to believe in rebirth to be a Buddhist? What can modern writers, philosophers and scientists add to the debate around life after death? In this series of six talks Vaddhaka will guide us on an exploration of these and other questions to help us develop our own beliefs and views on what might happen when we die. --------------------------------- To understand the Buddha’s teaching on rebirth we first need to ask who we are, right now, alive in this world. Is there a real me, a permanent essence of self, a soul? Do persons exist? Or are we an illusion?
