GoodBye, Samsara. Hello Amitabha. by María González

Samsara

The round of rebirths through gross and subtle planes in the reincarnational theories of Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism.

According to the belief in reincarnation, when locked in ignorance and selfish craving for temporal joys, the soul has no choice but to reincarnate in an earthly or subtle, astral body.

The process is said to continue until the spiritual liberation of moksha (Hinduism and Jainism) or nirvana (Buddhism) is attained. » Arhat, Roberts (Jane), Visistadvaita
