Askesis
“I want to make asceticism natural once again: in place of the aim of denial, the aim of strengthening; a gymnastics of the will; abstinence and periods of fasting of all kinds, in the most spiritual realm, too.”
— Friedrich Nietzsche

B T
he Buddha, by rejecting the idea of soul, also rejected the concept of reincarnation. He was therefore at variance with many of the Hindu traditions of India that retained the concept of a soul that survived death and went on to live a series of lives. In the Buddhist view, only a collection of psychic materials is transferred from one life to the next, and that, as with everything else, is subject to change. All physical and mental phenomena are compounded or conditioned, and whatever is conditioned is caused, and whatever is caused is impermanent and subject to change. Nothing can be permanent. Therefore, the Buddhist view cannot be seen as similar to, or in some way compatible with, the other beliefs we have mentioned. It is an alternative to them, which is not to say that it is superior. The Buddhist idea of rebirth is incompatible with the Hindu idea of reincarnation, theories of an immortal soul, and resurrection. It is important to recognize the real difference here, rather than mixing different ideas together.
