Things about Buddhism learned from the liner notes of the
new गौतम बुद्ध album released today:
The soul takes rebirth for eight reasons:
3. To enjoy the meritorious fruits: Sometimes a person performs excessive meritorious deeds and dies, then the soul is reborn to enjoy the fruits of those meritorious deeds.
You get forced to redeem your points if you’re piling too many up!
5. To take revenge: The soul takes rebirth to take revenge on someone. If a person is killed by deceit, fraud or by giving any other kind of torture, then that soul definitely takes rebirth.
But in order to avoid a two-soul infinite rebirth loop, the soul is NOT reborn if it was killed for revenge, I’m guessing!
6. To retaliate.
This is probably an automated translation issue, but maybe retaliation is broader than revenge? Like, someone ate your leftovers, and now you must eat their leftovers!
