What happens when we die?

Death arrives for every human life. What follows—if anything—is one of the oldest questions, and one of the easiest to answer with false certainty.

Traditions speak of rebirth, judgment, union, oblivion, resurrection, and plain mystery. Some claims are held as sacred truth within a community of faith. Others are philosophical guesses. None of them can be verified here as simple fact about your personal future.

This thread walks traditional teachings with careful labels: what Buddhism traditionally teaches about rebirth, what Christianity traditionally claims about resurrection, and what honest uncertainty looks like when the evidence of ordinary life ends at the grave. Where you begin is a doorway—not a verdict about what you must believe.
