In Buddhism

General definition (in Buddhism)

: Triveni: Journal (Buddhism)

Repeated births are visualised as happening due to differentiation of subject and object without fully comprehending the interdependence and inter-relatedness of all existents which in Buddhistic vocabulary is ‘Pratitya Samutpada.� Once this revelation dawns in the mind of man, he attains Nirvana. To rise to such a spiritual height one should practise ‘Kusala Karma� (wholesome conduct) completely rid of egocentric delusions and clinging to worldly things.�(Cf. K. Subba Rao’s review of The Buddhist Concept of Hell by Daigan and Matsunaga, Philosophical Library]
