Chapter 61: Spirit Child

"Spirit child, that old woman just now said that this little boy is a reincarnated spirit child? Is this interesting? ”

After listening to Hong'er's detailed paraphrase of the word "shaman", Bian Xi suddenly became interested in the little boy in front of him......

"Little brother, you said you knew her, so do you know her name?"

"Ziyu is smoking, white paper is red, she is Sister Hong...... Look up at the sky and listen to the wind, you are Xie Feng! The little boy replied calmly.

Hearing this, Bian Xi was instantly dumbfounded, and he looked at the little boy in the old woman's arms again in disbelief, trying to find the answer in his clean and deep eyes......

"Lord Bian, what is a spirit child? What is reincarnation...... Why don't you tell us a little bit more about that? ”

When everyone saw this, they all nodded yes, and Boss Kong's face was full of curiosity, which instantly amused Bian Xi......

He couldn't imagine how Boss Kong, who had followed him for so many days, became such a virtuous person, and he was just right to be pinched by him, and he was a living treasure!

Hong'er also smiled from ear to ear, with a provocative look, waiting to see how her brother Xi would answer next?

The little boy's mysterious smile prompted Bian Xi to turn around and walk to the ice platform, where he used the knife he carried with him to cut off the last piece of seal meat that was still stained with blood, threw it in his mouth and chewed it vigorously a few times, and finally began his speech......

"Reincarnation", a religious term.

It is said that after death, the soul of a person is reincarnated in reincarnation, and it is not known whether it is true or not, and it may just be a common understanding that leads people to goodness.

Reincarnation is the main tenet of many different religions and philosophies. Buddhism and Taoism also believe in reincarnation. Even in modern times, there are still many people around the world who claim to have memories of past lives.

This belief predates primitive cultures.

Some so-called experts believe that this belief stems from three universal beliefs:

One, human beings have souls, and there is an ambiguous relationship between the soul and the breath, which can be separated from the body. In sleep, separation is short-lived; After death, the soul is separated from the body forever.

Second, animals and plants also have souls, and they are powerful enough to influence human beings with power and emotions.

Third, the soul can be reincarnated from one organism to another. This belief is still espoused in many of the oldest surviving religions.

In addition, there are those who believe that reincarnation is not just a belief, but a historical phenomenon that has been discovered in both primitive and advanced societies.

Here, I would like to emphasize first of all: the "spirit child" is first and foremost a human being, but also a totem, a kind of belief, and its existence does contain a hint of the transfer of the soul between human bodies, and also breaks the shackles of the so-called time and space!

Some people think that believing in the reincarnation theory of the spirit child is tantamount to a disguised recognition of the existence of the so-called heaven, hell and reincarnation in religion. In fact, this statement is not unreasonable......

After the research of later generations, it has been found that no matter what era, there will be a certain number of children, who not only claim to have memories of their previous lives, but can even clearly say the situation between their previous lives and real lives, that is, there is no mystery of separation.

In addition, in some cases, children claim to have gone to a heaven-like place before and after their rebirth, and sometimes they have the right to choose whether and when to be born again, and even to choose their future parents.

Some of these children claim that being born again is not necessarily a result of sinful karma, but rather an opportunity for spiritual upliftment. The extra life will give the soul more opportunities to fulfill the entrustment of the previous life, and can make the character traits of this life improve even more.

Both China and the West have specific theories about the reincarnation of the spirit child, but in the final analysis, they are basically the same, while the Eastern view of reincarnation is more diverse, and the related records can be found in Chinese Taoism and some side branches of Buddhism.

1. Reincarnation......

Taoism believes that after death, the soul leaves the human body. Led by oneself or by ghosts. Hades Judgment of the Underworld. Reincarnate according to one's own sinful karma and enter another newborn being, which can be a human, an animal, or a ghost. According to the Taoist Quanzhen School, mortals are greedy for lust and lust, and indulge in love, hatred, and hatred. Lack of desire, delusion does not retreat. I don't know how to cultivate merit, and I don't want to know the way. Unwilling to cultivate the mind and accumulate merits. and fall into pain and afflictions, and circulate life and death.

2. Nirvana......

Buddhism believes that after death, the bardo body leaves the human body. According to the depth of one's karma and the degree of confusion, in heaven, humans, asuras, hells, and evil spirits. Six rotations. Since birth, sentient beings have been born and born in the Three Realms and the Six Realms, spinning like a wheel, so it is called the "Six Realms of Reincarnation", and at least they must cultivate into arhats and even become Buddhas, otherwise there is no period to get out.

In Buddhist terms, the meaning refers to coolness and silence, annoyance, and eternal silence of suffering; It has the meaning of the middle way of not being born and not dying, not being dirty and not pure, not increasing or decreasing, and being far away from the same, being born and dying, being constant, not being complete, and so on. The old translation is extinct. Extinction is the extinction of thinking and dust, ignorance is the three kinds of confusion, and the degree is the degree of segmentation and change of two kinds of life and death.

3. Resurrection......

As we all know, "resurrection" as a religious concept, the world is more familiar with the origin of Brahmanism, developed in Buddhism, but even in the Western world, there are independent origins, that is, ancient Greek philosophy and Druidism, and Christianity even molds this concept into a festival, Easter!

In short, whether it is a "spirit child" or "reincarnation", it is nothing more than the meaning of life being resurrected from the dead. The only thing that is different is that they all carry memories of their past lives! Maybe it's to fulfill the entrustment of the previous life......

It can be seen that no matter what sect it is, the process of the so-called "reincarnation of the spirit child" will eventually be depicted as, "reincarnation, nirvana, resurrection"!

After swallowing the last piece of seal meat, Bian Xi finally told everything he knew in one breath! Everyone is stupid...... Only Hong'er, the old woman, and the little boy smiled silently!
