—Φ‰τ [py] lun2hui2 [wg] lun-hui [ko] yunhoe [ja] ƒŠƒ“ƒl rin'ne ||| (sa.msaara); 'transmigration.' (1) The original meaning of sa.msaara is "flow together." This is the expression of the ancient Indian idea that all living things repeatedly pass through life and death. Like a continually spinning wheel, sentient beings are reincarnated and die without end. In Buddhism, one is said to transmigrate through the triple realm (desire, form and formless realms) and the six destinies (god, demigod, human, animal, hungry ghost, hell-being). However, this original word sa.msaara in modern Sanskrit and Hindi usage means "world" or "within the world." This usage can be traced back to a fairly early period. Accordingly, when the term lunhui is found in Chinese Buddhist texts, it should not be simply understood as 'reincarnation.' [Credit] acm(entry) cw(py)
