You may find this link useful - while i do not support many of the ideas in the thread; arijitmiter is right to identify the need for the continuation of the human existence as it provides the best situation for the development toward the ultimate goal of Theravada Buddhism.kilanta wrote:After giving some thought about this I fail to find any reason why continuation of human race would be something that necessarily should be endorsed from theravadan point of view. I'm not knowledgeable about the scripture at all, but isn't it so that this would actually just mean there is no craving at all as people simply have found a way to let go of this life and thus, at some point, the last one gives up and produces no future generations?arijitmitter wrote:As far as continuation of human race goes there will have to be some sex for procreational purpose.
