It can be unless, of course, I'm so attached to myself, then I'll be reborn again in a similar way with similar tendons. But otherwise, the suggestion really is that the death of the body can also mean the freedom from the body. In fact, for even some great philosophers like Plato as an example, the body, he actually regards the body as a prison of the spirit. So the death of the body from his point of view is getting out of the prison. That is not the overall tendency in the Indian tradition.
There is nothing wrong with the body. There are nothing to be against the body. So it's not the prison, but the question is is it actually going to be helpful to assist the evolution of it? But in general, the overall suggestion is that depending on the quality of my activities or my life, what how far this element of the spirit has evolved, then it may need to be reincarnated or goes through several different phases, or it may go beyond reincarnation. Or it may choose to be reincarnated, not being forced to be reincarnated, which is actually the bodhisattva vow, you probably know.
Because in general, it became a big idea especially in the Indian tradition by the time of the Buddha to be completely free of being born again. Then the bodhisattva vow is that they will again and again reincarnate until I find that absolutely amazing. Until every blade of grass is enlightened. Can you believe this every blade of grass to be enlightened? So that means always, forever. But this is their under intentionally under they don't have they are not required by law to be born again, but they undertake to be born again to assist the evolution of every blade of grass for every human being.
