Did I forgot to mention that I'm a Buddhist? Well, yeah, I'm pretty chill about everything, I don't hold grudge on people much, just thought someday the karma will strike them back. Lol
What I have learnt about Buddhism is that you should not get attached to anything in your life so you can have no hate, regrets or envy and freely get nirvana and get from the cycle of Samsara/incarnation thing. I also remember one sentence about it: "It's never too much nor too little, it's enough" or something like that. That's why they meditate a lot to understand themselves and universe.
Actually, my beliefs are like a mix of Buddhist and Christianity. I choose to believe in reincarnation, although I don't believe it happens as quickly as Buddhists typically believe.
For example, I believe there are stages after this life that you go through, and when you are done and experienced everything, your soul is recycled back into a life stream. I mean, our souls have to come from somewhere, right? Law of conservation of energy.
@Arc Well, yes, we didn't immediately reincarnate, from what I've learned, we've to pay for all karmas we've done first, Hell or Heaven, then you will get reincarnate, but not all of us can reincarnate as a human, some with heavy sin get reincarnate with something lower.
I love Buddhism. It has some good teachings about living life to the fullest and energy manipulation. Not a Buddhist but I take a little of it with what I believe.
I do have a question, from my very limited knowledge. If everything is reincarnated, how do we(In a general sense, not that you personally get a new soul.) end up with new souls(IE... More people, animals, life forms in general.)? I mean, unless there were billions upon billions(Possibly trillions if you want to count "lower" life forms.) of souls from the very beginning, reincarnation only recycles what was and doesn't make room for new souls, right?. I'm actually quite curious. Really, I know that's not the important part so much as how one lives their life and I can fully respect that.
My religion teacher showed Bhuddists and they ate glass.
Which is exactly why I have a lot more respect for Buddhism than most other religions.

Nice question, too bad, I don't know how the new soul was created.
