Punarbhava (Sanskrit, pāli: punabbhava ), is generally translated by rebirth.
See also: Reincarnation
The reincarnation indicates the migration of a heart of life in life. In the context of the Hindouisme, it Oneself ( Atman ), incarnates itself in several bodies.
Buddhism as for him, sign impermanency: any conditioned phenomenon is transitory ( Anicca ). This leads it to refuse the concept of Atman - each thing is without oneself, ( Anatta ). The rebirth is presented to it in the form of a process difficult to hear and several interpretations divergent.
The most complete teaching as for the origin of the suffering, the origin of Dukkha , is the conditioned Coproduction, which raises the question of a rebirth. But the Three characteristics raise the question then of what reappears, question which accepted many answers.
