Unlike reincarnation, where a soul is typically reborn as a member of the same species (e.g., human to human), tansmigration allows for the soul to be reborn as an animal, plant, or even inanimate object.
Here are some key characteristics of tansmigration:
* Body Change: The soul moves into a completely different physical form.
* Species Change: The soul can inhabit a being of a different species from its previous life.
* Spiritual Journey: It often involves the soul seeking new experiences and lessons in different forms.
* Fantasy and Fiction: Tansmigration is a common concept in fantasy and sci-fi literature and media.
Examples of tansmigration in fiction:
* "The Cat Returns" (film): A young girl's soul is transported into the body of a cat.
* "The Reincarnation of Peter Proud" (film and novel): A man discovers he was once another person in a past life.
* Many anime and manga series: Often feature characters who are reincarnated or tansmigrated into different worlds or bodies.
Note: Tansmigration is not a scientifically recognized phenomenon and should be considered a fictional or spiritual concept.
