Cause of rebirth
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

Unsatisfied desire for existence and sensual pleasures is the cause of rebirth.
What is the cause of rebirth?
The Buddha taught that ignorance produces desires.
Unsatisfied desire is the cause of rebirth.
When all unsatisfied desire is extinguished, then rebirth ceases.
To stop rebirth is to extinguish all desires.
To extinguish desire, it is necessary to destroy ignorance.
When ignorance is destroyed, the worthlessness of every such rebirth, is perceived, as well as the paramount need to adopt a course of life by which the desire for such repeated births can be abolished.
