Theories of afterlife or beforelife;
1) Qi theory. Qi is from the heaven and nurtured by the earth. So when we pass away, our bodies decompose and Qi moves on.
2) Spirits or souls theory. Good souls go to the heaven and stay with the realm of Angel and God (heavenly father). Bad souls go to the hellish fire and party with Satan the leader.
3) Nothingness or emptiness. We are a transcient state of existence. We come from nothing and we go back to nothing.
4) Kong Fu Tzu theory. If we do not know about life, we need not know about death. Meaning we have to find answers for life first.
5) Gift theory. Life is a gift. We have to return it.
6) Daoists theory. Life is to be with Dao/path/way. The beginning is the end. The end is the beginning.
6) Sufferrings of attachments. (Buddha theory) We all become sick, age and die. If you meditate and transcend karmic cycle, you will reach Nirvana. If not, we will see each other in the next life.
On and on.
