Смерть и после

What is life, and what is death? We shall not really perish when the body falls away; but what is there on the other side of death? When the body is struck away by death's hands, what conditions shall we pass into, in what worlds shall we find ourselves? What is the circle of Birth and Death? Is it possible to escape from that wheel of births and deaths? Can we break the bonds, so that we shall not afterwards be born again. Is there not some permanent state into which we may pass, where we may find satisfaction and complete peace which shall never be troubled, and joy which shall never be ended? That is the question ever repeated by the soul in man. We seek some certainty as to the conditions under which a man is continually born and continually dies, and also as to the conditions by which a man can be free from death and birth, and pass into the peace that knows no change, that knows no ending.
