Our existences in Samsara since ......beginingless
-
why does we appear? out of nothing?
craving, desire, lusts and ignorances are the root causes of our existences...until we extinguish these evils, we will continue to exist....
We were murderers, scholars, snakes, dogs, king, man, woman, brahma, deva, naga, teacher, monks, nuns, birds etc, you name it.
just imagine there were countless Buddha's that appeared before and there will be many Buddha's to appear in future, so likewise, we will continue to appear in future....
if we are lazy in this lifetime, meaning we were lazy in our past life and will be lazy again in future. let us strive on with diligence and stop being lazy, as it will have a bearing to our character and personality in future.
if you want to be rich in your next life, give and be generous. -

Indeed, the purification of mind is very important. It is also very important to do good deeds, and accumulate merits and blessings for future lifetimes.Originally posted by marcteng:why does we appear? out of nothing?
