334 – Six Useful Lessons from the Buddhist Teachings on Rebirth (1 of 2)
About this episode
This episode discusses valuable lessons from Buddhist teachings on rebirth, emphasizing that Zen practice does not depend on belief in rebirth.
Zen practice is not dependent on rebirth being true or untrue, and I suspect most Dharma teachers would say the same of their lineage traditions. As long as you practice, it doesn't matter whether you believe in rebirth, disbelieve, or maintain an agnostic attitude. Nevertheless, the traditional narratives and imagery of rebirth teachings contain many valuable lessons for us.
