How to Stop the Cycle of Reincarnation: A number of faiths teach that every living entity has to die and be reborn; perhaps in a worse condition than at present; this, in order to acquire experiences for yourself & our Creator Light-Source, as is the purpose for all of creation.. Although some faiths are happy to continue reincarnating endlessly, faiths such as Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism teach that happiness only comes from ending the cycle. If that's your goal, then follow these steps to stop the eternal cycle of births and deaths forever. Recognise suffering. The quest to stop the eternal cycle of births and deaths begins with an internal realisation that one is weary of chasing youth, beauty, wealth, status and power. We have done this in so many lifetimes and found earthly rewards to be fleeting, temporal and shallow. Replace the chase for earthly desires with a single longing to be one with God. For a Hindu this is believed to be the will of God. Buddhists develop a single longing for Nirvana, the end of suffering. Recognise God, or the Dharma (spiritual teachings), in everything around you. Stop frequently throughout the day and bring to mind how God or the Dharma explains the world around you and whatever situation in which you currently find yourself. Give up the need to control others. Whether it is holding onto family, friends or anyone else, you need to let them live their own lives. This is not to be confused with relinquishing your obligations towards your dependants, such as young children, spouses or parents. Each cycle in one's life has a purpose, and when one has dependants, their needs have to be met first. Renouncing them is a serious dereliction of duties that will result in further rebirths. Give up ambition and ego. These are the two biggest obstacles to ending the cycle of reincarnation. The less you want, the less draw earthly life has on you. As the desire to acquire evaporates, greed, jealousy, ego and the need for power all disappear, leaving the path and mind clear to focus on God.
