I Miss My Dog
This story is related to the previous one I had posted here. It has been a day since I lost our family dog. He died yesterday at about 1.50 to 2 PM. I still miss him so much. I know whatever I think that I should have done doesn't matter now as he is gone, but I feel like there is still something I can do even if it's a long shot.
I am sure not many people would believe this, but as a Buddhist I believe in reincarnation. I have been reading how all the animals reborn once they died. According to Buddhism, everyone is made of 3 bodies. I don't remember them all, but two of them are physical body, and mental body. While physical body dies out, and decays, the mental body never dies. In fact it's sort of immortal. This mental body is made of energy that continues to next life. So once someone died, their physical body stops functioning, then their mental body rises up, and leaves the dead physical body searching for a new physical body.
When a female being is pregnant with a new offspring, it's actually not alive until this mental body attaches with it. Once the mental body attaches with it, then it becomes alive, which is how people and animals get the awareness, and the life. As per Buddhism, this mental body has a shape, and a look, but it's not visible to naked eye. So if one day when we have the right technology, I am sure we might be able to see our loved one's mental body rises from their dead physical body to start a new journey for finding a new physical body. !
So I feel like I might be able to find our dog somewhere. I dunno he already reborn somewhere or he is seeking a new body to reborn, but either way I am sure if I put enough effort into this, I might be able to have a good progress. I don't expect to take him back to me if he is reborn as a human, because I can't own a human, and I don't expect to adopt him if he was already adopted by someone, but I want to do something for him. Maybe I can help him if he was helpless or something, maybe I can say hi at least. However, if he reborn as a dog again, and he had no owner, then I will adopt him for sure.!!!
The difficult thing is, it's not really possible to do with most of the people here, as they don't care once someone died. They just forget them, and move forward in their life after a while later, but I am kind of a different one who thinks out of box often, and thus I am not ready to accept he is gone, forever, to void. We humans have a great potential power. We had achieved so many things in this life. Buddha was a human too. So I believe why we can't locate our loved ones once they died? Why don't we put enough energy, money, resources into researching about this? I meant imagine you can reunite with your pet, husband, wife, child, friend, etc.. Isn't it that great? maybe if we could find a way to safely extract this mental body, and install it in a new physical body, we might be able to help people whose physical body has badly damaged.
Anyway back to topic, the problem is how I locate him. How I know it's really our dog? I have read in Buddhism, during Buddha's time how some monks, and also spiritual people had the power to see the next birth of any animal, their past life. Not just Buddhist monks, but also many spiritual people had this ability back then. We might have them even now among us.!! So I feel like if I could find someone like that, I might be able to have a clue of whereabouts of my dog. I know this sounds like a silly idea, some people might laugh at me, but I had posted here because I believe this is an open minded community that respects different views. Anyway I won't be able to do anything for a while, as I have my college works to do. However, once I am graduated from college, and have enough cash with me, I will surely start my task, and will also post here my progress too.
