While some faiths believe the cycle of rebirth continues endlessly, many faiths teach that every living entity has to die and be reborn until they achieve their holiest form. But how do you get to that holy form? Faiths like Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism generally agree on how this cycle ends. If that's your goal, then follow these steps to stop the eternal cycle of births and deaths forever.
Things You Should Know
- Meditate, pray, and let go of your desire for earthly possessions to help find the enlightenment you need to stop being reborn.
- Live simply and avoid excesses like alcohol or tobacco. The fewer things interfering with your clarity, the better.
- The only way to end the cycle of rebirth is to learn what you need from your current life, so focus on today.
Steps
Community Q&A
- QuestionIf I gain freedom from reincarnation, should I tell anyone about it?Community AnswerThat's up to you. People might not be interested. Buddha originally didn't want to share with others what he discovered. He thought they wouldn't want to know.
- QuestionWill holding grudges cause a person to be reborn?Community AnswerYes. Chances are that holding grudges will cause bad karma that has to be repaid by being reborn. Let go of the past.
- QuestionWill I become free from reincarnation if I forgive everyone who has wronged me and ask forgiveness from everyone I have wronged?Community AnswerNo. According to Hinduism, freedom from reincarnation is possible only on the attainment of Mukti or Moksha. What is Mukti/Moksha? Though different philosophies have different definitions, they agree that Mukti is assured with the vision of God. Forgiving everyone who has wronged you and asking forgiveness from everyone you have wronged is a very good step. But it is not enough because it contains many loopholes like: a) You remember only this life. What about your earlier lives? b) Your definition of 'wrong' itself will start to change, once you start progressing in spiritual life. Then what? and many other loopholes.
Tips

Warnings
