I Believe In Reincarnation

I had already wrote two stories of our family dog, and how he died recently. After his death, I was wondering is he going to reincarnate once again. So I had read a couple of resources, viewpoints, and also what Buddhism says, and it appears as not just pets, but also humans, in fact everyone reincarnates. Even though reincarnation wasn't proven scientifically, I could found some hints from near death experience (NDE), and out of body experiences. They all point out what Buddhism had said, meaning there is a mental body (gandhabba in Buddhism), which is actually responsible for giving us the awareness. Once the being died, it searches for another body, then attaches it to the body in the womb, and makes it alive. That's how we reborn or reincarnate, but it doesn't necessarily mean your pet is coming back to you. However, I have read how having strong karmic bond might make your pet to return to you. I guess it's sort of like law of attraction. If you strongly want something, you get it somehow, especially when you work for it.

It seems like it's not just limited to pets, but also humans. I don't have hard facts to prove this so far, but the information I found from multiple sources seem consistent. So I believe there is something more out there that we can't see. Besides, I feel strongly our family dog will come back to me. In this I am going to adopt him.!

In Old Tibet, it was believed dogs were people who didn't quite make it back to a human rebirth, but if the they were given love they would return as human.

@hunkalove Unfortunately he wasn't given much love. His owner was my sister/her husband (by then he was her boyfriend who gifted him her), but once my sister left after marriage, she just left him in our home, then he was like nobody's dog. My parents wanted them to take him away, but they didn't want him saying they have no place to keep him. besides she, and her husband both work, and they are not at home in most of the times, and they go on vacations in every week ends. So my parents asked them to take him to a better place, but they didn't listen. They made excuses saying nobody wants this breed. We had this Indian breed, whom are not favoured by anyone. Here people always like exotic breeds, but I feel like if they searched hard, they could have found a better place.

So we just kept him with us, and gave him foods. We couldn't just throw him away. Even though he was given foods, he wasn't given enough love. Initially I didn't much into him, because the dog I loved was given to my mom's sister by my mom (the other dog whom owner was also my sister). so I lost interest in dogs thereafter. but before a year or two he died, I felt like I started liking our family dog more and more, I spent time with him, gave him foods, spent money on him, in fact I treated him in the whole time when he got pneumonia, but still my mom did more than me. However, I realized I love him more when he died. This is why I want him come back to me.

It's correct to think that every event recurs: dogs, rocks, people, etc.

It's incorrect to believe that any two events are reunited after death.

@Success Buddhism is based on truth, and logic, not on magic. There is no god, or supernatural entity that controls you. We everyone is managed by an universal system, which runs on its own. All the gods, Buddhas, humans, animals, brahmas all are subjected to it no matter how powerful they are. While I understand some sects in Buddhism like Tibetan can have some magical aspect, the true form, meaning Thervadha doesn't have any magical aspect. Samsara is a cycle of rebirth that demonstrates how beings reborn in each realm based on their karma level, and departing mind after they passed away. In the Samsara, we everyone is equal. There is nobody unequal in it. Everyone is treated equally. You have good karma, you get a good birt. You have bad karma, you get a bad birth. And YOU ALONE generates your karma. So you decide your own fate. We are made of not just physical body, but also mental body. The mental body has your karma attached with it. That's how this system we live in tracks of individual people. This mental body also gives us birth by attaching to a body in the womb.

So you are this mental body, but mental body alone doesn't produce a being, as you need consciousness to have the awareness, you need a physical body or a body compatible to that realm, for instance in Buddhist heaven (Buddhist heaven is a temporary place. you also die in there) you have a non-solid body that is invisible to us regular people. in human and animal realm you have a flesh body. In hungry ghost realm, you again have a non-solid body that is invisible to us regular people. In Buddhist hell (again a temporary place unlike Christian one) you have an invisible body to us regular people.

Consciousness is the psychic energy that runs your body giving you the awareness. You can have Consciousness, and mental body both, but once your mental body removes from your physical body you are dead, whereas when you lost your Consciousness, you are simply unconsciousness, not dead. It has been proven that with hypnotism, your past life memory can be unlocked. Also small children often recall their past life, so it means a portion of their memory might be carried over to next life with their mental body. maybe mental body has a small memory capacity that can hold somewhat of memory of our physical body. This might be why some pets return to their owners. Animals have a very less complex brains, so it's easy to carry information of their owner to their next life with mental body. I feel like once they reborn, they might immediately think of their former owner. Like children recall their past life, puppies might remember their past life too. With this combined with law of attraction, the pet, and the owner meet at one point of their life due to their strong attachment. and karmic bond.I feel like it's like you might strongly feel I have to go somewhere, then your pet might feel the same, then you both meet together.

@Angular Neither science nor reason confirms the existence of 'karmic bonds' and 'psychic energy'. It's all magical stuff someone invented to sound informative.

@Success Science is what can be proven, not what is actually out there.
