Do Spirits Exist?

Dialogue 1
A: What happens after we die?
B: After people die, they are born as spirits.

A: Born as spirits? I don’t understand.
B: Taesang Jongdosanim said humans are humans with physical bodies, and spirits are humans without physical bodies. Spirits interact with each other just as we interact in the human world and, further, their actions affect the human world.

Dialogue 2
A: Countless groups and communities exist in the spirit realm as spirits generally associate with those who have similar traits and interests.
B: Then spirits who were Buddhists on earth must be living among other Buddhist spirits, and spirits of Christians live among other Christian spirits!

A: How did you know that? Yes. After people shed their physical bodies upon death, they are born as spirits and begin their lives in different heavens, depending upon their spiritual development and their virtue they have accumulated during their lifetimes on earth.
