when "reincarnation" stops?

[thistle]

I have hope. I’ve been praying for almost 2 years for my friend without approaching her to talk about religion. One day, not too long ago, we spent nearly two hours talking about God. I’ve found that when we discussed our similarities, it intrigued her and she opened more.

God works according to His Schedule, not mine. I need to be patient.

Keep praying.
My wife is a cradle Catholic and I was a cradle Methodist. My wife prayed daily for me for 10 years for God to give me the grace to see the truth and it worked. I became a Catholic in 1992.

Hello Ahimsa and notself,

ah, I forgot to mention this part - I was discussing with a friend of mine who is New Age and she believes in the reincarnation just like that in Buddism - people are born again and they don’t know their previous life.
This friend also told me that she is not afraid to die because when she dies, she will go to Heaven. I haven’t had chance to discuss with her more, but my question is that if she knows that when she dies and goes to Heaven, she must know that she is no longer to reincarnate.

It is because in Buddhism, a person dies, and depending on his karma, goes to either Heaven (where they can usually spend their time achieving Nirvana there) or Hell (which resembles a cross between the Christian Hell and Purgatory). They stay there until their karma is used up, wherein they are sent to one of the Six Lower Realms to be reborn again-and-again until one had achieved Nirvana.

How does she know? that is my question.

Once you have fufilled all your lives purposes and have learned and experienced everything you must know about life. Then you will be with God.
