Question asked by kunga
Dear Dharma Teacher..
Can sea creature like fish,frog lobster when they die take rebirth in human realm..?
How can one feel the rebirth in other realms..when there is absence of 4 elements..besides human and animal realm..
when somebody dies..where does mind instantly go to..in the air etc..? also when egg fertilize..consciousness enters..where does that mind comes from….?
Dear Kunga,
Depending on their karma, animals do take rebirth in the human realm when their karma in that rebirth has been exhausted and they have not committed any serious evil acts. Beings born in realms other than the human and animal realms belong to a different dimension, some with form and others formless and one may or may not have the awareness that one has been reborn.
