T 1670B Nāgasena Bhikṣu Sūtra<br />
<br />
Part 2: Dialogues<br />
2.48. Rebirth<br />
<br />
The king asked Nāgasena, “Is the old body not reborn when a person dies?”<br />
<br />
Nāgasena replied, “When a person dies, he receives a new body, the old body is not reborn.”<br />
<br />
Then Nāgasena gave a simile, “It is just like the interchange of two wicks of a lamp, the old wick still remains, and the new one is lit. It is the same with regard to the body of a person. The old body does not transmigrate, but he receives a new body.”<br />
<br />
Then Nāgasena asked the king, “Have you, great king, learned the ancient scriptures from a teacher when you were a boy?”<br />
<br />
“Yes,” said the king.<br />
<br />
“Great king, when you learned the scriptures from your teacher, did your teacher still have the knowledge of these scriptures when he comes across these scriptures?”<br />
<br />
“Yes, my teacher still has the knowledge of these scriptures.”<br />
<br />
“So is the body of a human being. It gives up the old body and takes the new one.”<br />
<br />
“Excellent, Nāgasena.”<br />
