Samsara, in Buddhism, is the opposite of Nirvana.
It is the world we live in now. For Buddhists this is the world of illusion.
The next world is the real world.
My Samsara is a different world of illusion.
Buddhists believe that Samsara is the world of passion; attachment to people and things; multiplicity and differentiation. Their goal is to try in this world to approach the oneness, detachment, and peace that they believe will exist in the Nirvana that follows death.
My Samsara is also about passion, attachment to people and things, multiplicity and differentiation. Even if there is another life after this one, I'm in this one now, and will celebrate its contrasts:
Balance and Chaos
Peace and War
Love and Hate
Individualism and Tribalism
Sanity and Madness
Smiles and Tears
As far as I know, nothing else exists but matter. And nothing matters but existence. The most positive comment I could make about 'God' is that he, she, or it is a work of human imagination, which seeks to somehow explain, comfort, frighten, or give meaning, just as art does. There are no spirits, no souls, no gods, and no magic, except for the magic of symbols. Everyone knows their power and believes their magic. They help us to understand and communicate our understanding of ourselves and the universe that surrounds us.
Samsara is a collection of these symbols. The world of illusion.
