However, Buddhism does not quite follow the philosophy I was describing above since it does include the notion of free-will. The "soul" is then not only an observer, since it has some decision power. Yes, the soul in Buddhism does not (usually) include memory, emotions, personality traits, image, intellect and so on, but it does include identity and power of action. |
I do apoligize that i didnt explain myself the right way, what i meant was that soul might be being punished if its attached to a being that was experiencing the effect of a poor choice and the ¨Karma¨ from that choice wasnt exactly good,then the ¨soul¨ would also be effected by the beings choices?
