When a person dies according to Buddhism, the mind that has been conditioned in this life establishes itself in a new being and takes on a new personality shaped by its circumstances. This cycle of rebirth continues until one reaches Nirvana. Where one is reborn depends on their karma - their good and bad actions. Those who acted with kindness and love may be reborn in pleasant realms like the human world or heaven, while those who acted otherwise could be reborn as animals. Scientific studies of people who remember past lives provide some evidence for the Buddhist idea of rebirth.
There are many things in this world that we don’t know. We don’t know how the universe was created, how life started, or what happens after we die. However, some people claim to have the answers to these questions. They say that there are laws of the universe that are only known by a select few.
In the chaos of the universe, some natural laws restore order. They are mathematical, and they govern everything from the smallest particles to the largest structures in the cosmos. But these laws are not just the province of physicists and astronomers. Some of the smartest people in the world have used them to their advantage, harnessing their power to achieve greatness.
So, what are the laws of Universe? How do they impact on us? And how can they be used to make your life better? Read on to learn more!
Holy Spirit or Brahman, not material spirit or energy is understood as the moving and sustaining force of the world. This is presented and argued logically as a science and Truth that can save humanity from impending disasters

Karma yoga chapter vi we help ourselves, not the worldRavi Ramakrishnan
Swami #Vivekananda Bengali: , Shāmi Bibekānondo; 12 January 1863 – 4 July 1902), born #Narendranath Datta, was an Indian Hindu monk, a chief disciple of the 19th-century Indian mystic Ramakrishna. He was a key figure in the introduction of the Indian philosophies of# Vedanta and #Yoga to the Western world and is credited with raising #interfaith awareness, bringing Hinduism to the status of a major world religion during the late 19th century. He was a major force in the revival of Hinduism in India, and contributed to the concept of nationalism in colonial India. Vivekananda founded the #Ramakrishna Math and the Ramakrishna Mission. He is perhaps best known for his speech which began, "Sisters and brothers of America ...," in which he introduced Hinduism at the Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago in 1893.
Born into an aristocratic Bengali family of Calcutta, Vivekananda was inclined towards spirituality. He was influenced by his Guru, Ramakrishna Deva, from whom he learnt that all living beings were an embodiment of the divine self; therefore, service to God could be rendered by service to mankind. After Ramakrishna's death, Vivekananda toured the Indian subcontinent extensively and acquired first-hand knowledge of the conditions prevailing in British India. He later traveled to the United States, representing India at the 1893 Parliament of the World Religions. Vivekananda conducted hundreds of public and private lectures and classes, disseminating tenets of Hindu philosophy in the United States, England and Europe. In India, Vivekananda is regarded as a patriotic saint and his birthday is celebrated there as National Youth Day.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

2. What Happens When We Die, According to Buddhism
If you grew up in the west, you were probably taught that when we die we will either go
to heaven or hell. Buddhism, however, offers a different view to what happens after we
die.
The Buddhist View of Death
Buddhism says that when we die the mind that has been developed and conditioned for
this life re-establishes itself in a new being. The new individual will then grow a new
personality that is conditioned by those life circumstances. This process of dying and re-
establishing itself continue until one reaches Nirvana – a state of enlightenment that does
not desire or crave but simply lives in peace and with love.
How does the mind go from one body to another?
When one is dying, they will lose control of their mental processes. During this time, the
actions and habits in their memories are released. Depending on this person’s karma, they
will begin to see images, which will either be frightening images, or images of loved ones
or scenic beauty. Even though the physical body is weak, they may cry out these visions.
When the body breaks down at the point of death, these energies are released as mental
energy. Energy cannot be destroyed and therefore, this energy has to re-establish itself in
a new body.
It’s almost like radio waves which are made of energy at different frequencies, which
travel through space to be picked up by a suitable receiver.
Is one always reborn as a human being?
According to Buddhism, there are several different realms one can be transported to.
Some may be reborn as animals, while others humans. Nothing in the universe is
permanent, and therefore this state of existence cannot last forever and rebirth occurs
over and over again.
What decides where we will be reborn?
The most important factor, according to Buddhist texts, is karma. Karma is more complex
than simply you reap what you sow. There are 12 little laws of karma (see end of
Article) that go through different factors such as your effort, your kindness to others and
your intention. Thus, the gentle, loving type of person shall be reborn in a heavenly realm
or as a human being in a comfortable environment.
There may actually be some scientific evidence to support the Buddhism view of death.
During the last 30 years parapsychologists have been studying reports that some people
have vivid memories of their former lives. Professor Ian Stevenson of the University of
Virginia’s Department of Psychology has described dozens of cases of this type in his
2
3. books. He is an accredited scientist whose 25 year study of people who remember former
lives is very strong evidence for rebirth.
12 Little Laws of Kamma
1) The Great Law.
This is also known as the “Law of Cause and Effect”. The main crux of this law is that to
receive happiness and love, one must act happy, peaceful and loving.
2) The Law of Creation.
This principle says that life requires our participation to happen. Nothing happens by
itself. In other words, if you want to achieve your goals, whatever they may be, then you
need to take appropriate actions.
3) The Law of Humility.
This law is all about acceptance. If you want to change something, then first you must
accept it. If all one sees is negativity, then it’s difficult for them to reach a higher level of
existence.
4) The Law of Growth.
If we want to achieve our goals, then it’s not the environment that must change, but
ourselves. When we change who we are and our perspective on life, then our lives will
follow suit.
5) The Law of Responsibility.
Whatever happens to our lives, one must take responsibility. We mirror what surrounds
us, and what surrounds us mirrors us; this is a Universal Truth.
6) The Law of Connection.
Everything in the universe is connected. It is undeniable. Past, present, and future are
connected. Everything is needed to accomplish tasks.
7) The Law of Focus.
It’s impossible to do two tasks at once. It’s important to focus on spiritual values, and
leave lower thoughts like greed or anger to the side.
8) The Law of Giving and Hospitality.
It’s important to be kind and compassionate to others, and then people will do the same
for you.
3
4. 9) The Law of Here and Now.
The only thing that exists is the present moment. It’s important to realize this and focus
your mind on the present moment. Old patterns of behaviour prevent us from having new
ones.
10) The Law of Change.
History repeats itself until we learn the lessons that we need to change our path.
11) The Law of Patience and Reward.
All rewards require initial toil and true joy comes from working hard and achieving your
goals, in your own time.
12) The Law of significance and Inspiration.
One gets back from something whatever they put into it. The true value of something is a
direct result of the energy and intent that is put into it.
