what is death but the end of life?
Nirvana is the same - the soteriological release from rebirths in saṃsāra.
I'm not that interested in getting to Death/Nirvana. I'm doing OK, ... here on the Planet.

"those idiots" meaning Buddhist dharma.. what a brainstem thought
considering you are one of more more duller knives in the drawer WhoTF cares about your brainstem thought?It's always good for a laugh when you pretend to know Buddhism.
Thanks for that. Laughter feeds the soul.

Or pretend that Buddhism is the only 'way'. Not very Buddhist in practice.It's always good for a laugh when you pretend to know Buddhism.

What’s even funnier is his pretending to practice it.It's always good for a laugh when you pretend to know Buddhism.

Hard to be a hypocrite, which is refreshing when discussing beliefs.That is true, very true. And not just for me but all of us. So, you know what? That's why I don't spend any time thinking about it. I spend my time, as an Epicurean, seeking Pleasure, Satisfaction, and Happiness.
There's also that. Not unlike many Christians who post here. I find it best not to preach.What’s even funnier is his pretending to practice it.

give yourself some credit.That is true, very true. And not just for me but all of us. So, you know what? That's why I don't spend any time thinking about it. I spend my time, as an Epicurean, seeking Pleasure, Satisfaction, and Happiness.
more gross stupidity.Or pretend that Buddhism is the only 'way'. Not very Buddhist in practice.

The fact you have any interest is pretty good considering modern western man lacks any spiritual values/awareness
it does coming from a hedonist - and I never make value judgments about religion or a lack of.I'm not debating about a 'Spirit'. I think we all accept that the physical body dies and deteriorates. So the question becomes 'Do we have a 'Spirit' that survives the Death of the Body'. I, Jack, personally DON"T KNOW. I could SPECULATE, but that's all it would be. So, all I, Jack, know is that I'm here on the Planet. And, I, Jack, get to choose what I want to concentrate on, what I want to focus on, what I, Jack, want to do with THIS Life here, THIS Life now. I, Jack, right or wrong, have chosen to live THIS Life, here and now, seeking contentment, pleasure, and happiness.
IF, ... If I have a 'Spirit' and it moves 'on', I, Jack, will confront the 'Next Reality' and deal with it as it is dealt out to me. If I'm a Dog, if I'm a Human, if I'm with 72 Virgins, if I'm in Hell with the Porn Stars, if I'm an exact replica of myself in a Parallel Universe, or if I'm in Heaven playing a Harp, ... I, Jack, will confront THAT Reality and decide MY best course of action AT THAT TIME.
I would be a Lunatic trying to guess the Next Reality, THEN ... live THIS Life. ... in preparation for the NEXT Life. (Does that make sense?)
idiot.
Buddhism is the Path -it is the well worn trail that leads to self actualization if not enlightenment.
I don't expect you to get it -you're too much of a coward to even debate much less understand.
But go ahead and make an ass of yourself with your "I think i've lived many lives before"
-it's a brain fart like deja vu.
If you had any self awareness you would look at that first unless you claim Hinduism *look! it's magic"
I spend my time, as an Epicurean, seeking Pleasure, Satisfaction, and Happiness.
