I think its the idea that you suffer again and again and again No eternal reward. No heaven Just life that you have to struggle thru again and again and again

It is no struggle. It is progress and on the meantime you aren't only gaining experience but you move forward. Whatever that seems to a struggle is actually the way to break through. It's only a question of whether or not you find your way to fulfill your destiny and your purpose.

Very cool response Atlantis. Very motivational

The Four Noble Truths: that suffering is an inherent part of existence; that the origin of suffering is ignorance and the main symptoms of that ignorance are attachment and craving; that attachment and craving can be ceased; and that following the Noble Eightfold Path will lead to the cessation of attachment and craving and therefore suffering.

The Noble Eightfold Path: right understanding, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration.

Dependent origination: that any phenomenon 'exists' only because of the ‘existence’ of other phenomena in a complex web of cause and effect covering time past, present and future. Because all things are thus conditioned and transient (anicca), they have no real independent identity (anatta).

Rejection of the infallibility of accepted scripture: Teachings should not be accepted unless they are borne out by our experience and are praised by the wise. See the Kalama Sutta for details.

Anicca (Sanskrit: anitya): That all things are impermanent.

Dukkha (Sanskrit: duḥkha): That all beings suffer from all situations due to unclear mind.

Anatta (Sanskrit: anātman): That the perception of a constant "self" is an illusion.

Mirror, are you copying Hindu texts?

But, again, the demon doesn't actually specify that the next lives would be filled with the feelings that you feel at the time he comes to you.

Therefore, the suffering wouldn't be as bad as might originally be though.

Gotta love circular logic. :-)

Buddhist

okay, okay Nietchze said it anyways

Sowwy Mirror. Just having a bit of fun with you....lol

You actually hit the nail on the head with the circular logic statement. Nietchze was talking about the concept of eternal return

Well.I wasn't actually looking at it that deeply.

But maybe I should have been.

It just seemed like a circular thing to me because there were no specifics.

Oh, well.

YAY ME!!!!

I just don't want to come back as a spider and have to live with a bunch of other spiderlings and then on my first venture out get stomped to death by a slipper or sprayed with hair spray.

Someone say Reincarnation?

I like how everyone has an idea of what reincarnation may or may not be.

For me, there is no beginning and end...only transition...energy vibrating at different levels...this current vibration is in the form of being human.
