“Gandhabba can be destroyed, but not forever. Rather, they can get dismantled by powerful beings and then accumulates again at some point in the future.”
- A gandhabba cannot be “destroyed” by any “powerful being.”
- When getting a “human existence” a “human gandhabba” is born and can live for many thousands of years. That gandhabba will be pulled into the womb of a woman and be born a baby to grow into a human. When that human dies within hundred years or so, the gandhabba does not die. It comes out of the dead body. It can be pulled into another womb and that process can go on until the lifetime of the gandhabba ends.
- The only way that gandhabba can die before the end of its lifetime is as follows. If a human carrying that gandhabba commits an anatarika kamma then when that human physical body dies the gandhabba will also die.
- See “Ānantarika Kamma – Connection to Gandhabba.”
“..even if you get “annihilated”, you will be born again sometime in the future, maybe it will take eons (billions and billions of years) for it to happen,..”
- There is no gap between lives. When a human gandhabba dies, it will reborn in one of other realms or in the realm immediately.
- See “What Reincarnates? – Concept of a Lifestream“
“.. this practice is in fact very useless since it results in being reborn as “immaterial things” “
- A lifeform (human, animal, Deva, etc.) cannot be reborn an “immaterial thing” like a rock. Rebirths are ALWAYS within the 31 realms. See “What Reincarnates? – Concept of a Lifestream“
“Samsara is truly a giant cosmic horror story.”
- That is true!
