well, the Buddha said not to worry to much what happens after we die b/c then we miss out on living and expending our energy on living better, more clear-headed lives. but that was the Buddha, and i would give anything to know for sure what happens afer we die! i sort of think that maybe we go back to wherever we came from spiritually, just as our bodies go back to the earth (or should--i want to either be buried in a wooden box so that i can decompose or be cremated and scattered)

but anyway, the reason for our existence? that was another point the Buddha said not to spend too much time thinking about for the same reason. i do believe in an ultimate design. I mean, i think that some higher power steps in at least once in a while--maybe all the time--to make things turn out the way they do. at times i have sort of stepped back from acting b/c i sensed i was not supposed to. but i could have.

i have tried to read the Bible and really can't relate much to it. wish i could. but if you can, go for it!
