Do you believe in rebirth?

Do you believe in rebirth?

[Reductor]

Yes.

[Anicca]

Howdy Sunrise!

Yes. Some say belief in it is not required. I think the Buddha would want you to be comfortable with your belief and not 'swallow more than you can chew' - when the time is right for you to know - you will know. All views are only worth letting go of in the end.

Hello Anicca

You mean I can know it with time?

[Anicca]

Maybe ...time is change!

I don't "believe", it makes sense.

[Modus.Ponens]

yes

[Kenshou]

Agnostic. I have no idea what will happen in the future. So better make use of the present, I say.

I'm agnostic when it comes to the postmortem rebirth, assuming that's what you're referring to. I am, however, a firm believer in moment to moment rebirth, which is readily observable in the here and now. If you're interested, you can find more of my thoughts on the subject here.

Yes, I believe in rebirth. Coupled with kamma, to me, it's a fact. I've held similar beliefs when I was a Hindu, and that was for around six years. So, I would definitely say "yes".

I take a neutral stance and neither believe nor disbelieve in rebirth.

I believe in moment to moment rebirth and consider speculation about any existence before and after this lifetime to be pointless. This is the lifetime that counts in the present !

[Shonin]

If I have lived before, then being reborn on that occasion (my life now) was/is indistinguishable from not being reborn. Why would it be different next time? Also, not believing in continuous and unique personal identity over and above a constructed sense of self it's a rather meaningless issue for me.

I do believe in rebirth and kamma

Greetings,

If I was a betting man, I'd be more likely to bet in favour of it than against it... and there's a variety of reasons why that's the case, but none of them constitute me in any way "knowing" rebirth is true, or even having grounds to fervently believe it to be so.

All in all, I don't think it's altogether relevant to one's Dhamma practice, unless your aim is something lower than stream-entry (or some non-Theravada bodhisattva thingamabob)

Metta,
Retro.

I believe there is a succession of rebirths in one mind continuum, and that each mind moment is bonded to the next by kamma.
