Understanding Karma and Rebirth A Buddhist Perspective Rebirth and
reincarnation are generally accepted realities in the East and have
been since ancient times. What the next life will be is usually the
question rather than whether it will be. In the West, on the other
hand, we have our own religious and secular beliefs which usually
do not include living another life, or at least not in this world
or in this way. A common idea amongst Westerners is that
annihilation is an unavoidable fact: 'When you're dead you're dead
' But unless one wakes up to the truth of it - East or West - one
is caught in cultural conditioning and personal beliefs. Buddhism
is about becoming aware of what life actually is rather than being
blinded by beliefs and conditioning. The Buddha saw life as a
changing procession of conditions, events, and circumstances, one
thing leading to another without beginning or end, timeless and
limitless. And he recognised that the part of ourselves which is
aware, which sees and knows, is never born and never dies. He spoke
of a direct 'seeing' into the nature of existence beyond words,
beyond the intellect. Understanding the cause and effect process -
the nature of karma and rebirth - and what lies behind it is the
underlying message of this book. Diana St Ruth points out that
Buddhism is a personal journey of discovery which involves seeing
through one's own delusions. She leads us by degrees to a place of
awareness, clarity of mind, and understanding.
