Article Name : | | THE CONCEPT OF REBIRTH AS EXPOUNDED IN BUDDHISM | Author Name : | | Ven. Ankura , S. Veerrpandain | Publisher : | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | Article Series No. : | | GRT-4478 | Article URL : | | | Author Profile View PDF In browser | Abstract : | | Antarabhava (next life) is the term used in Pali and Sanskrit to denote and intermediary state between death and rebirth. Though there is no definite answer regarding such a state in the Theravada tradition, Mahayana seem to accept this concept. Buddhists regard the doctrine of rebirth not as a mere theory but as a verifiable fact. However, the belief in rebirth is not confined to Buddhist; it is also found in other countries, in other religions, and even among free thinkers. | Keywords : | | |
