Hi Stephos,

Have you read our Code of Conduct #16 ?

My own position regarding rebirth is neutral, because I don't consider that speculating about it one way or another has any relevence to my practice here and now.

My comment about the possibility of the mind dissolving into space at death had nothing to do with rebirth.

kind regards,

Aloka

Hi Aloka,

I understand your concerns about the code of conduct.

I want to state my position clearly and with qualification, not argue which does nothing other than agitate and embitter.

Having said this, What exactly DO you mean about unbound mind dissolving into space if not a metaphysical stance?

Also, Could you perhaps explain why the reticence to not allow the discussion of rebirth or not in this forum please?
I saw nothing in the Code of Conduct saying that people couldn't discuss this issue, in all honesty.

To me, Buddhadharma is one body of teaching with a clear start and clear goal, but modern Buddhist schools do not reflect the Buddha's intent fully, which to someone like me is saddening.

Thank you and Be well sir,
Stefos
