Continuity Of Life In Buddhism
In Buddhism, the concept of life's continuity is encapsulated by the term Bhavanga, which first appeared in the 'Milinda Panho.' This theory, originally from Sarvastivada, describes a subconscious stream responsible for life's unbroken continuity. Bhavanga is a compound of 'bhava' (being) and 'anga' (limb or part). The renowned Buddhist scholar Buddhaghosha and his followers elaborated on this idea, linking it to the continuity of an individual's life. Did you know? Bhavanga is often likened to the underlying current of a river, representing the flow of consciousness.
