“Besides the part about Brahman, is Buddhism also about the fact that our Manomaya Kaya (in other words, the soul) is only just pure awareness experiencing reality?”
- Manomaya kaya is not a “soul.”
- The soul, by definition, is an everlasting entity.
- At the death of an Arahant, his/her manomaya kaya dies and a “successor manomaya kaya” is not generated.
P.S. This is the critical difference between Buddha Dhamma (Buddha’s teachings) and all other religions/philosophies. They all focus on pursuing a “permanent, suffering-free” existence in this world, either in a Deva realm (Creator God in Abrahamic religions) or a Brahma realm (Hinduism).
