Do all living things move? Do they all eat and breathe? Even though we all seem to know what is meant by saying something is "alive", it's not very easy to describe what "life" is. It's almost as hard as describing where life came from.
Even the biologists (people who study life) have a tough time describing what life is! But after many years of studying living things, from the mold on your old tuna sandwich to monkeys in the rainforest, biologists have determined that all living things do share some things in common:
1) Living things need to take in energy
2) Living things get rid of waste
3) Living things grow and develop
4) Living things respond to their environment
5) Living things reproduce and pass their traits onto their offspring
6) Over time, living things evolve (change slowly) in response to their environment
Therefore, in order for something to be considered to "have life" as we know it, it must possess these characteristics.
What is the Meaning of Life?
This earthly world is a place of spiritual training for the soul and
spiritual development is the purpose and meaning of human life. God
(Buddha) created the Great Cosmos with the objectives of “progress” and
“harmony,” and these are the guidelines for the evolution of the human
soul. God (Buddha) has created the system of reincarnation between this
world and the Spirit World (Real World) so that we can cultivate
infinite experience and walk ever closer to God (Buddha).
Human beings are children of God (Buddha)
Humans are spiritual beings that possess eternal life and go through
countless reincarnations. The human soul was created by branching off
from God (Buddha), so a Divine nature or Buddha-nature dwells in every
soul. Hence all human beings are children of God (Buddha).
The mind is everything
Humans are spiritual beings and the mind is our essence. We are
undergoing spiritual training to polish our mind and return to the
Spirit World with a higher state of mind and level of awareness.
Everything is subject to the cause of law and effect so when we change
our thoughts and our state of mind, our human relationships, health and
financial circumstances change too. The causes of pain and suffering do
not lie with others or the outside world but are actually created by
ourselves. Therefore, we need to reflect on our thoughts and deeds and
correct them through our own effort.
Life is a Workbook of Problems to be Solved
Everyone experiences troubles and hardships as a part of living in this world. We all would like to avoid them if possible. However, in the process of solving our problems in life, the soul acquires various experiences and learns many different lessons. These experiences and lessons are nourishment for the soul’s growth.
The world is a ground for spiritual training
This earthly world is a training place for our souls, because we go through experiences we would not be able to go through whilst living in the Spirit World. Life in the Spirit World is strictly governed by “The Laws of Vibration”, therefore, only souls that share the same wavelength can reside in the same realm. Although the heavenly world, from which we reincarnate, is a wonderful world overflowing with love, harmony and happiness, it does not provide the soul with many opportunities for progress. It is when a soul is placed in adverse circumstances that it can discipline itself, correct its misguided tendencies and make progress. That is why we periodically reincarnate to the earthly world, where people, whose wavelengths do not match, can gather together and refine their souls. The earthly world is also a place where we can encounter great souls whom we would never meet in the Real World
A soul draws up a Life Plan before it is born
Human souls draw up a life plan before being reincarnated on earth. We decide in advance on the best environment for our own spiritual development, on such things as the country where we will be born, our language, family environment, financial circumstances, religion, education and occupation. We are confronted with human relationships and various troubles on earth but all these things are what we have planned for ourselves. Accordingly, when human relationships are at the root of our suffering, it is ourselves who decided to set these problems in our life plan. Sometimes people think that a husband and wife are not well-suited but, from a spiritual perspective, in fact it is the best possible pairing for their spiritual development. Couples are born promised to one another in order that they may learn a lot from their mutual differences.
