We picked up the query from early Buddhism Q&A of Albomulle Sumanasara Thero August 13th, 2020 @ Gothami vihara
Q. “I’m writing this query to ask you about the relationship between suicide and reincarnation. Is it true that reincarnation really happens even if it is suicide? If a person despairs at living completely and commits suicide with thinking that being born again is disgusting, I think the worldly desires will remain, but, I don’t think the suicidal mind will cling to material or do something like that without learning a lesson. Is it because “Once it passes through the throat, the heat will be soon forgotten.”?([Japanese proverb]When pain is gone, it's soon forgotten)
