Organ Donation
There are still wrong benefits about organ donation among
Buddhists. They believe that if they have donated their organs to others, in
future life, they will come handicapped. For example, if they have donated
their eyes in the future life they will become the blind. This makes many
people hesitate to donate their organs. In fact, for Buddhism, organ donation
is a great merit.
When we die, our organs will be useful for many patients
who have trouble in losing their organs. The organ donation is like giving good
benefits to others. In the same way, if we wish others to free from suffering
organ donation is a good way a Buddhist can do to help them. In Buddhism,
donation is one of many basic principles for Buddhists. For instance, in the past
life of Buddha, he was a Bodhisattva who donated his eyes to someone who lose
his eyes. As a result, he became the Buddha and had second sight eyes. It was
the result from his donation. Besides, organ donation also helps patients are
reborn with complete organs. Various organs of ours can help many patients free
from disorders. If we donate our organs, our lives will be filled with good
luck.
In conclusion, it is not true to think that donating our
organs will bring about bad luck in the future life. Organ donation is a good
way to help someone who loses their organs. Many Buddhists have good luck in
their lives after they have made merit by donating. So organ donation is worth
doing. Let’s donate out organs.
