4 Things Needed for Journey to Next Rebirth | Ajahn Dhammasiha | Buddhist Dhamma Talk

Listen Later

Ajahn Dhammasiha provides a simile for the process of rebirth: Intercontinental Air Travel.

When we travel to a distant, exotic country, before we take off at the airport, we better make sure that we have all the essentials with us:

  1. Flight Ticket 🎫✈️
  2. Visa 🛂
  3. Credit Card💳
  4. Knowledge 🎓

    5. Similar, for the journey to the next life, which we all will have to travel one day, we better check we've got the following four:


    1. Faith / Confidence in Triple Gem. Our 'Flight Ticket' to make our mind rise up to a good destination like deva-loka or good human rebirth
    2. Virtue / Sīla, keeping the 5 precepts. Without visa, we won't be let into deva-loka (heavenly rebirth), baddies can't get there.
    3. Good Karma / Puñña / Generosity / Dāna: Our good actions is the 'Karma Currency' for prosperity and happiness in the next rebirth. And we can top up the credit card of parted loved ones by sharing good karma with them 😊
    4. Knowledge / Insight: Deep Dhamma knowledge well will be a huge help in our future life. And if we understand the Dhamma on the level of direct insight and realization, we can end the whole process of travelling. No more coming and going: Freedom, Release, Nibbāna!
