tooironic Posted May 29, 2013 at 02:16 AM Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 at 02:16 AM Could anyone explain the difference between 转世 and 投胎? My understanding is that they can both refer to reincarnation but have very different origins and usages. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted May 29, 2013 at 02:31 AM Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 at 02:31 AM I think 投胎 is more colloquial. Besides this I don't see a big difference in usages. I don't know about the origins of the terms but I wonder if the origins have a lot of implications on the usages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
陳德聰 Posted May 31, 2013 at 03:15 PM Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 at 03:15 PM 投胎 is definitely more vivid and (to me) hilarious a description than 转世, but that's just because I more readily picture souls invading women's wombs and then popping out as babies.

mokushiroku Posted July 9, 2013 at 02:25 AM Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 at 02:25 AM 投胎─在東方的宗教信仰中，是所有包括人類的動物都可以在死亡後領受的過程。他們可能會在這個過程之後變成其他的動物。 轉世─指的則是一個已經經過修行，並且得到了一個正果的人，在他死後再出生為另一個人的過程，這樣可以確保他的智慧和信仰不因為死亡而結束。例如像是達賴喇嘛。 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
