About Rebirth

Our Mind that carries over from life to life has no beginning, its continuity is infinite. Each moment of our mind is a continuation of the previous moment. Who we are and what we think and feel depends on who e were yesterday.

Our present mind is a continuation of the past mind. One moment of our mind was caused by previous moment of our mind. This continuity can be traced back to childhood and even when we were a foetus in our mother's womb. Even before the time of conception, our mindstream existed in another body.

Using the example of a number line, looking left from position zero, there is no first negative number, and looking right, there is no highest last number, one more can always be added. Likewise, our mindstream has no beginning or end.

We all have had countless past rebirths and our mind will continue to exist infinitely. By purifying our mindstream, we can make our future existence better and better.
