The Concept of “Death” in Buddhism and Islam — Analysis of the Stories in¬
cluded in Menge written by D. Tsendjaw and 7896 written by Abai Kunanbaev.
The paper discusses the approach of Buddhism and Islam to the concept of “death”.
This concept is explained both in Mongolian and Kazakh literature, especially in
Menge (“Birthmark”) written by D. Tsendjaw after the Mongolian peoples’s revolu¬
tion, and 1896 written by Abai Kunanbaev in the 19" century. Menge communicates
the Mongolian Buddhist concept of rebirth to the world including the Mongolian
custom of marking the deceased one in his body, who will have than be born by
a birthmark on the same part of his body after rebirth. However, there is not any
word about rebirth in Islamic literature, which confirms the approach of Buddhism.
There is rebirth in Buddhism, but not in Islam. However, the general approach of
the two religions to death is quite similar in spite of the difference in the existence
and non-existence of rebirth. According to Islam, people should be in aware of
their death in every moment of life. If a person forgets about it he will be greedy
and desirous living only for wealth and well being in this life. It will be difficult
for him to separate from the wordly items at the moment of his death, and will start
to commit sins. The concept of Buddhism is very similar to it: the dom ritual aims
to separate a person and his secular properties. As conclusion, we can state that al¬
though the concept of the two religions about death is similar, its manifestation and
practices are different. The reason of the similarly is the merciful and sympathetic
views existing in both Buddhism and Islam. However, the process of expression and
method of actions differ.
