The Truth of Rebirth and why it matters for Buddhist Practise by Thanissaro Bhikku. The Buddha taught that questions on rebirth matter a great deal, though hard to comprehend and answer, and that awakening—in going beyond the dimensions of space and time—gives perspective on how choices operate within other dimensions. You see that choices are real, that they do make a difference, and that the consequences of your options can shape not only this life but also many lifetimes in the future—as long as the mind still has the craving that leads to rebirth after death. Before awakening, you can’t know these things for sure. Still, as the Buddha states, if you want to gain awakening and minimise suffering, it could be wise to assume these principles as working hypotheses. Download the ebook here: (47 pages/292 Kb):
