Magnificent Beast: So you can explain the "BUDDHA'S TEACHING" Not only am I well versed in Buddhism but I have lived in Asia for 20 years and am familiar with Korean, Japanese, Tai and the Buddhism India as well. Please cite a Buddhist sect that does not follow the teachings of Buddha.

"Buddha’s teachings make it clear that we are all accountable for our past, present and future. With his teachings one who is suffering in poverty, pain, and an unfortunate life is reaping what he has sown in his past life. His choices continue to create the karma that fuels the Wheel of Life for rebirth."

"The rebirth doctrine in Buddhism, sometimes referred to as reincarnation or metempsychosis, asserts that rebirth does not necessarily take place as another human being, but as an existence in one of the six Gati (realms) called Bhavachakra.[4] The six realms of rebirth include Deva (heavenly), Asura (demigod), Manusya (human), Tiryak (animals), Preta (ghosts), and Naraka (resident of hell).[4][6][note 1] This rebirth, state Buddhism traditions, is determined by karma, with good realms favored by Kushala (good karma), while a rebirth in evil realms is a consequence of Akushala (bad karma).[4] While Nirvana is the ultimate goal of Buddhist teaching, much of traditional Buddhist practice has been centered on gaining merit and merit transfer, whereby one gains rebirth in the good realms and avoids rebirth in the evil realms."

"There are many references to rebirth in the early Buddhist scriptures. These are some of the more important; Mahakammavibhanga Sutta (Majjhima Nikaya 136); Upali Sutta (Majjhima Nikaya 56); Kukkuravatika Sutta (Majjhima Nikaya 57); Moliyasivaka Sutta (Samyutta Nikaya 36.21); Sankha Sutta (Samyutta Nikaya 42.8)."

ARE YOU FEELING STUPID YET?

The Sautrantika sub-school of the Saravastivada Buddhist tradition, that emerged in 2nd century BCE, and influenced the 4th-century CE Yogacara school of Buddhism, introduced the idea of "transmigrating substratum of consciousness".[28] It stated that each personal act "perfumes" the individual and leads to the planting of a "seed" that would later germinate as a good or bad karmic result.

The Pudgalavada school of early Buddhism accepted the core premise of Buddhism that there is no attā (ātman, soul, self), but asserted that there is a "personal entity" (pudgala, puggala) that retains a karma balance sheet and is mechanistically involved in rebirth; this personal entity, stated Pudgalavada Buddhists, is neither different nor identical to the five aggregates (skandhas).[29] This concept of personal entity to explain rebirth by Pudgalavada Buddhists was polemically attacked by Theravada Buddhists in early 1st millennium CE.[29] The personal entity concept was rejected by the mid-1st millennium CE Pali scholar Buddhaghosa, who attempted to explain rebirth mechanism with "rebirth-linking consciousness" (patisandhi).[30][29]

Some schools conclude that karma continued to exist and adhere to the person until it had worked out its consequences.[citation needed] Theravada Buddhists assert that rebirth is immediate while the Tibetan schools hold to the notion of a bardo (intermediate state) that can last up to forty-nine days.[34][35][36]

The bardo rebirth concept of Tibetan Buddhism, along with Yidam, developed independently in Tibet, and involves forty two peaceful deities, and fifty eight wrathful deities.[37] These ideas led to mechanistic maps on karma and what form of rebirth one takes after death, discussed in texts such as The Tibetan Book of the Dead.[38][39]

Another mechanistic rebirth theory that emerged in Buddhism posits that a being is reborn through "evolving consciousness" (Pali: samvattanika viññana, M.1.256)[40][41] or "stream of consciousness" (Pali: viññana sotam, D.3.105) that reincarnates.[42] Death dissolves all prior aggregates (Pali: khandhas, Sanskrit: skandhas), and this consciousness stream combined with karma of a being contributes to a new aggregation, which is rebirth. Nirvana is the state that marks the end of this consciousness continuum and the associated karmic cycle of suffering through rebirths and redeaths.[43]

BUDDHIST STUDIES - https://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/karma.htm

KARMA IS A FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPT IN BUDDHISM:
Karma and karmaphala are fundamental concepts in Buddhism.[12][13] The concepts of karma and karmaphala explain how our intentional actions keep us tied to rebirth in samsara, whereas the Buddhist path, as exemplified in the Noble Eightfold Path, shows us the way out of samsara.[14]

One of us has no frigging idea what the hell they are talking about.

REBIRTH IS A COMMON BELIEF IN BUDDHISM

Tibetan Bhavacakra or "Wheel of Life" in Sera, Lhasa.
Karma and karmaphala are fundamental concepts in Buddhism.[12][13] The concepts of karma and karmaphala explain how our intentional actions keep us tied to rebirth in samsara, whereas the Buddhist path, as exemplified in the Noble Eightfold Path, shows us the way out of samsara.[14]

Rebirth
Rebirth,[note 2], is a common belief in all Buddhist traditions. It says that birth and death in the six realms occur in successive cycles driven by ignorance (avidyā), desire (trsnā), and hatred (dvesa). The cycle of rebirth is called samsāra. It is a beginningless and ever-ongoing process.[15] Liberation from samsāra can be attained by following the Buddhist Path. This path leads to vidyā, and the stilling of trsnā and dvesa. Hereby the ongoing process of rebirth is stopped.

BUDDHIST REVIEW - WHAT IS THE LAW OF KARMA?
"The Buddha used the term karma specifically referring to volition, the intention or motive behind an action. He said that karma is volition, because it is the motivation behind the action that determines the karmic fruit."

SHOW ME A SCHOOL OF BUDDHISM THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE CIRCLE OF LIFE, KARMA, BIRTH AND REBIRTH. SHOW ME A BRANCH OF BUDDHISM THAT DOES NOT SUPPORT THE IDEA OF KARMA. IF YOU CAN FIND IT......

All you are doing is asserting the very same thing I have asserted. LIKE I SAID ABOVE IN THE PART OF THE POST YOU OBVIOUSLY DID NOT READ! "DID NOT READ!"

"I really enjoy the Buddhist Koans. I will agree that they are useful insights into the psychology of the human mind. But the wheat must be separated from the shaft to be useful."

"If you can find a school of Buddhism that does not talk about reincarnation, karma, or the circle of life and death, THAT SCHOOL IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT I ASSERTED. Getting rid of the shit and focusing on the psychology of mind or basic philosophy which does have some good stuff in it. "

If someone is harping on specific words or idea and not reading posts completely, it certainly is not me.

Cheers!
