This is true supposing a finite number of outcomes, including nirvana.BillSocrate wrote: ↑Tue Jan 10, 2023 8:25 pm I'm asking this question in seriousness and sincerely. Please do not troll. I believe in thevara buddhism - danna/kama create wealth/luck and practicing detachments finally set one escape the rebirth coz you don't cling on anything any more. Meditate a bit - understand the theory more. BUT, I came up with the question that no one could answer so far.
We have been here for infinite life - coz we haven't escape the rebirth yet if I do, I won't be typing here and you won't be reading here. No new lifes are created - they just transformed from dog to human, human to dog so on. If sentient being (life) can really escape rebirth (nirvana) then since we have infinite time, eventually every living being would reach nirvana and no one exists in the Universe.
Here's how you picture this clearly, there are sand grains in the beach. If I tell you human generations pick 1 grain at a time, eventually all sands are gone. I can gurantee that coz we have infinite time. The theory about nirvana also state that a life/soul is gone forever.
You can't guarantee that if there are also an infinite number of outcomes besides Nirvana.
