The subject of life after death transcends boundaries or beliefs and has been (and still is) debated by people around the world throughout history. Buddhist and Christian views of the afterlife contrast sharply. A Buddhist believes that after a person dies, they either reincarnate and return to earth or enter nirvana which is considered a "final liberation from the cycle of death and rebirth" (Afterlife, 2015 p.2). Reincarnation (also known as transmigration) is defined as "the idea or belief that people are born again with a different body after death" (Reincarnation, 2016), and is frequently demonstrated by kindling. of sequential candles with the previous candle. The successive lighting of the candles illustrates how each candle is connected and is a continuous process.
