Mental. Was spiritual? Buddhist explained, not like you thought.

Many people think that the "soul" is one that floats out of the body at death.

But in Buddhism,

Spirit is perception for a moment.

The "mental" part is all the current that is flowing.

No permanent horoscope

No identity, a solid lump.

There are only factors that have been extinguished.

Misunderstand this.

Life, the whole system will change.
