He taught a distinct concept of rebirth constrained by the concepts of anatt\u0101, that there is no irreducible atman or \u201cself\u201d tying these lives together, which serves as a contrast to Hinduism, where everything is connected, and in a sense, \u201ceverything is everything.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The mystery of reincarnation The Buddhist concept of reincarnation differs &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12749],"tags":[421,648,1521,3686,1235,1770,361,287,631,370,685,192,340,3,617,1234,3684,1236,583,1311,3683,1180,392,649,8561,6211,6212,1544,41,391],"class_list":["post-6690","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tumblr","tag-buddha","tag-buddhism","tag-buddhist","tag-cause-and-effect","tag-consciousness","tag-dead","tag-death","tag-god","tag-karma","tag-life","tag-love","tag-nirvana","tag-peace","tag-quote-of-the-day","tag-quotes","tag-rebirth","tag-reborn","tag-reincarnation","tag-science","tag-self","tag-self-conscious","tag-soul","tag-space","tag-spiritual","tag-spiritual-awakening","tag-spiritual-healing","tag-spiritual-journey","tag-spirituality","tag-time","tag-universe"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
