That which was never born can never die, therefore deathless. Is this "awareness"?
If pigs could fly how will we prevent getting pig<deleted> on our heads? It's pointless raising an extreme scenario that is nowhere near happening. Yes, there are probably other lifestyles that might be very positive, satisfying and rewarding, someone choose the Buddhas path if they believe the benefit to sacrifice ratio outweighs the alternatives. The classical presentation might be "A life of denial and sacrifice in order to extinguish re-birth" but when you look into the practice techniques and the the Buddhas teaching in the scriptures it's mostly about freeing the mind here and now. Most Indian religions have that same classical formula as basis, its the Indian religion problem statement, the Buddha used it also but only really as a background. I think you'd be better off looking into what the Buddhas unique teachings were rather that what he integrated from his culture and time. That which is reborn is not us/me/you but what we do in life is our legacy. Your children are not us/me/you either and yet you would do anything to help them get into a position to have a good life after you are gone, if you do have a kammic link to a future life wouldn't you do the same? It's not that different. If you believe there are many lifestyles which can maximise balanced pleasure, love, enjoyment, & satisfaction in life whilst limiting pain and suffering without a life of renunciation and denial, why didn't you choose one? -
