WHEEL of LIFE

Do you learn about the "wheel of life" in bhuddism Hsicheng?........In catholicism they teach from 1 Maccabees and 2 Maccabees of the existence of a middle afterworld between Heaven and Hell called "purgatory"...........The name purgatory means a "place where one purges oneself of past accumulated sinfulness"......it is where people go.........where their soul goes........after death. 1 Maccabees and 2 Maccabees in the Old Testament give allusions to the existence of purgatory........Maccabees was a King of Israel from times before Christ. I myself interpret purgatory as a reincarnation idea...........that the middle state they speak of in the books of Macabees is just plainly the Earth that we live out our lives on on the stage of the everpresent. Thus we are here on Earth in a continuing process to purge ourselves of sin and to prepare ourselves for the afterlife...........but one only attains Heaven or Hell in an asymptotic manner..............and just as the "wheel of life" dictates we must come back again to serve another life sentence on the Earth........so I believe catholicism is teaching us through 1 Maccabees and 2 Maccabees in the bible that reincarnation back on to the Earth is just what happens at death..........where one's proximity and identity in life is dictated by one's previous life and previous lives as a series of perturbations........the lesson being there is life after death.
