Stanza 111. 如親精卵聚本非吾自身
串習故執取受精卵為我串習故執取受精卵為我
Stanza 115. 於此無我軀串習成我所
如是於他身何不生我覺

Stanza 111. Like the fusion of my parents' ovum and sperm,
there is no original body of my own. I think that my
consciousness, the space-time continuum, left this worldconsciousness, the space-time continuum, left this world
and came back again to this world and then received a
fertilized egg as a new body.
Stanza 115. In this body of selflessness, consciousness of
space-time continuum will be the self. However, in the
body of others, why awareness of the self will not arise?

< Commentary >
Stanza 111. In Buddhism, the continuum of consciousness is
considered to be reincarnated and the body is considered to be
replaced to a new one in every rebirth. Therefore, this must meanreplaced to a new one in every rebirth. Therefore, this must mean
that the continuum of consciousness enters the fertilized eggs (new
body and brain) of parents by own choice. According to this idea,
our consciousness will not die but our body and brain will repeat
life and death. Buddhism calls it the reincarnation and considers
that it will last forever until enlightenment.

< Commentary >
Stanza 115. Shantideva clarified that the body of selflessness means a
mere material body which is not received by the continuum of
consciousness yet. He also clarified that the self will arise after theconsciousness yet. He also clarified that the self will arise after the
continuum of consciousness enters. Consciousness is aware of the self
only toward the body that it enters but it isn't aware of the self
toward the other body. Therefore, the consciousness can not regard
other's suffering as own suffering, so it's difficult to remove other's
suffering. In Buddhism, it is preached that the consciousness is the
continuum which exceeds time and space and that the cognitive
ability is taken over from the previous life.

< Reasoning >
Fertilized egg which consciousness has not entered yet is a mere
substance as the fusion of ovum and sperm, the self does not arise in
that time. I think that fertilized egg becomes mental substance at thethat time. I think that fertilized egg becomes mental substance at the
stage sometime after consciousness enters the fertilized egg, and that
consciousness becomes the self when it is named after body is born.
Then, the body is one that I inherited from my parents, mental
consciousness has come from a completely different. place. Really,
from where and for what purpose, does the consciousness come?

< Reasoning >
Second, because it is selflessness if only the body, it is the same as
social animals such as ants and bees, it does not suffer from
disturbing mind. However, the self will arise when consciousnessdisturbing mind. However, the self will arise when consciousness
enters and is named, and will suffer from self-centered mind such as
attachment, arrogance and greed. That's why consciousness will
make an effort to return to selflessness from the self to overcome
sufferings. Then, the purpose of reincarnation of consciousness
would be to master the altruistic practice through human life by
obtaining a new body many times! ?

< Reasoning >
If this reasoning is correct, today's society based on materialism
which puts too much emphasis on money, power, status and fame,
is the foundation that afflict humans. So, another important socialis the foundation that afflict humans. So, another important social
infrastructure of spiritualism should be returned to us as soon as
possible! ? To achieve this, spiritual revolution in individual human
level would be essential!
