<p class=MsoNormal>The Dharma, Reincarnation, and Karma Buddhists believe that
human beings have the potential to become free from suffering by practicing
meditation and cultivating a lifestyle prescribed by the Buddha. The Buddha
gave many lectures before his death. His teachings are referred to as the
Dharma. The wheel is a very important symbol in Buddhism because it depicts the
cycle of life and death. Buddhists believe that after beings die, they are
reborn or reincarnated into a new form. This new form could be a deity, human,
animal, some lower creature like a hungry ghost (a being with a small head and
huge stomach, and therefore always hungry), or an inhabitant of hell.3 It is
believed that all positive thoughts and actions cause good karma and may direct
one into being reborn in a higher form. T h e c o n s <span class=SpellE>equence
s</span>
of ones negative deeds, bad karma, may result in rebirth in a lower form. This
endless cycle of rebirth, called r e <span class=SpellE>i</span> <span
class=SpellE>ncarnation</span>, reflects the impermanent nature of human
existence</p>
