Excerpts from Buddhism in Plain TermsMaster Jun Hong Lu’s Public Talk

When We Die, We Take Nothing With Us

   
 

WHEN WE DIE, WE TAKE NOTHING WITH US

Master Jun Hong Lu: Our entire life lasts no more than a few decades. On our trip to this world, we borrowed a body to house a soul in which we spend our lives in unproductive effort. When all has been exhausted, there is nothing we can take with us when we die. Instead, we need to pay this world back for all it has given us. Before departing from this world some people leave their souls behind, some souls transcend to heaven, and others carry their souls with them into their graves, and into hell. These are a few of what is known as the Six Paths of Transmigration.
