Eastern Philosophy

Probably the most confusing accpect of Eastern philosophy is the circular motion of life. Most westeners veiw life in a linear fashion where you are born and then you die. However, the Eastern philosophy is that lfe is a constent flow of life, death, and reincarnation. Most of the Eastern philosophies say that your spirit is transfered from lifeform to lifeform until you find nirvana, or inlghtenment. At this point your spirit will no longer be reincarnated, and you will truly die.
