Permission To Reincarnate, Sir!
I read this in the news a few days back:
I was tickled silly, gigglish at the irony of the headline. The article piqued my curiosity enough to Google the subject. I've even bought and commenced reading this book by one Stephen Batchelor.
I would think that 'living Buddhas' would mean 'Bodhisattva' - an enlightened being destined to be a Buddha, but purposely remaining on earth to teach others. Buddhist reincarnation concepts can be read about here. The authorities in China want the final say over the appointments of reincarnate monks. Red tape and rubber stamps. Wonder if there are forms to be filled.
Seventeen pages into the book now. Interesting. What's more interesting is this website I stumbled upon: The Reincarnation Station. One needs only to answer some simple questions and at the end, be told what you'd be reincarnated as in the next life. Me? I'll be a tiger. Grrrowll.....

wonder what i'll be?? hmmm...
i want to be taller. so that i can walk down the runways of new york, paris, milan and become malaysia's premier supermodel.
uba..... pray tell!
babe..... are you really sure? I'm sure you'd have included happy and healthy, too, if you had the time. Have you done the quiz?
Hmmmm...as corny as this may sound, I wanna be me (minus the unfortunate events in my life lah).
what quiz? i shudder at the thoughts of taking quizzes, my IQ tak sampai 60 pun.
Hey! I was born in the year of the tiger. Hehehe..my mom says maybe thats why i'm so garang.
I'd like to come back as Princess Diana and not make the mistake by marrying that toad!
oh the quiz. i took it. i'd be reincarnated as a bear. heh heh. i think i must have lied with some of the answers.
mz ayam..... it is corny. But I'd give exactly the same answer.
cosmic gurl..... without marrying the toad, you won't be a PRINCESS Diana.
babe.... just bear with it, then.
pun not intended, i'm sure.
heh, sorry for spamming.
babe..... no such apologies needed here. All comments are beary much appreciated. :)
U got me there. But then I think I'd be content with just being a "Lady" :)
oh! so pun was intended!!!
tsk, in my next life, i'll be very hairy.
cosmic gurl..... even being 'just' a lady, you'd have no shortage of suitors.
babe..... heh heh. And I'll be a Big Pussy in mine.
Can I come back as Mrs. Hugh Jackman? So that I can shag him silly.
if it was malaysia, they'd have to apply for AP!
:P
so what will i be?? cuba ckp yope...
pugs..... you tell me. Try the quiz on the site. Might just end up being Mrs Wolverine, but without the 'rine'.
desparil..... very true, and some datuk will get rich from it.
missy.....dah coba lum? since you emo selalu maybe you'll come back as a polar bear - cool sikit.
desparil: KAH KAH KAH.Funny giler
Its definitely political.
I'm a liverbird who will be reincarnated as a parrot. But in my head, I'm a dishy bird.
took the quiz..I'm a horse..:)
i am a bear .... ok lah at least not lipas or ulaq
yope apa ni...
polar bear...so cute...tapi kome badak air ler yope....tak comei
Muahahaha.. a gorilla?
Only 14% of people will be reincarnated as a higher form of life than you.
Remain honorable in this life, and you can expect to be rewarded in your next life...
lily..... a parrot? Looks like you'd still be dishing out plenty of words.
blackfeline..... black mare next?
hobo..... ahahahah, you, too, will have to bear with that.
missy..... badak air? boleh berendam air lama-lama tu kira cool jugak ler. cute jugak.
angel eyes..... you are quite an angel compared to the rest of us here. :)
i'm a zebra.... &*##!
I'll be coming back as one who howls at the moon. (I already do that in this life truth be told. :P )
A wolf, how prosaic. I wonder why not.. say.. a dugong ... or a Thompson's gazelle... or... a macaw. Exotic sikit. *LOL*
desparil..... only means that you'd be a decisive sort. No grey areas.
drama mama..... prosaic it may seem but in literature and culture more references are made to the wolf. Not quite exotic but very well-known. Would that be fame?
did the quiz. I got ELEPHANT!! Hahahaha. Perli nampak!
HOBO!!! my very own kindred soul. we are meant to be together, not in this life, but in the next life!!!!
Ooooh... really? :) Now that you mention to it, there's a certain 'mystique' about the wolf, isn't there? :P
Fame? I think I am closer to 'infamous' than famous, if at all. *LOL*
dnas..... gajah? fuh, nobody will mess around with you.
babe and hobo..... eat honey and salmon.
drama mama.....aye, like Paris Hilton?
This is so interesting Wingy and really if there really I could be reincarnated...I want to be ME again :D
shionge..... most of us want to be ourselves again BUT with the foreknowledge of the life we have lived. In other words: To do right the wrongs and to make the right better.
