Nihilism and Eternalism

Some people believe that death is final and there is no further life after it. Such persons are regarded as having fallen into the extreme view of nihilism. Then there are others who are unconcerned about the nature of their subsequent rebirths. They think that now one should just enjoy this life and if one is then reborn in hell or as an animal, what does it really matter? They believe that since the mind is eternal one will continue to receive numerous bodies, what reason is there to be concerned about any particular rebirth? people who think in this way fall into the extreme view of eternalism. It is important to free yourselves from these two extremes of nihilism and eternalism.
