From Micro To Macro 

In secret we met --   In silence I grieve, That thy heart could forget,   Thy spirit deceive. If I should meet thee   After long years, How should I greet thee? --   With silence and tears.

Lord Byron, When We Two Parted

Body artist paints a circle of life on her face, by Emma Allen. This is pretty much one of the core beliefs in Buddhism.

One fundamental belief of Buddhism is often referred to as reincarnation - the concept that people are reborn after dying. In fact, most individuals go through many cycles of birth, living, death and rebirth. A practicing Buddhist differentiates between the concepts of rebirth and reincarnation. In reincarnation, the individual may recur repeatedly. In rebirth, a person does not necessarily return to Earth as the same entity ever again. He compares it to a leaf growing on a tree. When the withering leaf falls off, a new leaf will eventually replace it. It is similar to the old leaf, but it is not identical to the original leaf.

After many such cycles, if a person releases their attachment to desire and the self, they can attain Nirvana. This is a state of liberation and freedom from suffering.

人間事常難隨人願， 且看明月又有幾回圓. - Nhân gian sự thường nan toại nhân nguyện, Thả khán minh nguyệt hựu hữu kỉ hồi viên - Chuyện đời thường khó toại lòng người, Đành ngắm vầng trăng sáng đã bao lần tròn.

Đông phong nhật dạ động giang thành, Nhân tự tiêu điều thảo tự thanh. - 東風晝夜動江城， 人自悲悽草自青。

A Zen Master said: "Before practicing Zen, rivers were rivers and mountains were mountains. When I practiced Zen, I saw that rivers were no longer rivers and mountains no longer mountains. Now I see that rivers are again rivers and mountains are again mountains."
