A Buddhist Genesis
Again, there is a season, at vast intervals in the lapse of time, when this world is re-evolved; and upon the world's evolution, people disappear from the host of the Radiant and come down hither.[1] And they are mind-made, feeders on joy, self-resplendent, traversing the sky, and abiding in goodness. [And so] do they dwell for a long, long period...

Buddha's Discourse on the End of the World
Now there comes, O monks, a season when, after many years, many hundreds and thousands and hundreds of thousands of years, it does not rain; and while it rains not, all seedlings and vegetation, all plants, grasses, and trees dry up, wither away and cease to be. Thus, monks, constituent things are impermanent, unstable, non-eternal: so much so, that this alone is enough to weary and disgust one therewith and emancipate therefrom...

Buddha, the Gospel By Paul Carus, Chicago, The Open Court Publishing Company, [1
The Buddha, our Lord, brings comfort to the weary and sorrow-laden; he restores peace to those who are broken down under the burden of life. He gives courage to the weak when they would fain give up self-reliance and hope. You who suffer from the tribulations of life, you who have to struggle and endure, you who yearn for a life of truth, rejoice at the glad tidings!...

Buddhism In Our Daily Life Lecture 2
In last week's discussion of the concept of birth and death, the
one-life theory and the multi-life theory were introduced. I also
used a familiar natural phenomenon, the multi-form of H2O, to
illustrate my belief that the multi-life theory taught by Hinduism and
Buddhisn is closer to the truth than the one-life theory. We found
that H2O is a good analogy for the human soul...

Death And Dying in the Tibetan Buddhist Tradition
Contemplation and meditation on death and impermanence are
regarded as very important in Buddhism for two reasons : (1) it is
only by recognising how precious and how short life is that we are most likely to make it meaningful and to live it fully and (2) by
understanding the death process and familiarizing ourself with it, we
can remove fear at the time of death and ensure a good rebirth...

just that he makes you want to smile, maybe even laugh. While
living at the Rajneesh ashram in India, I remember hearing Rajneesh
telling the story of the laughing saints, and Sogyal brought back
those memories...
