Abstract

This article entitled to study the concept of the Verification and the Falsification, to analyze a life after death in Payasirachannasutra. This is a qualitative research done by studying academic documents. In the research, it was found that The Verification is the proposition of repetition of meanings until they come up with the same meaning and the use of experience to understand the meaning and feel of the use of the word. The Falsification increases the criteria for checking the truth, not in a scientific sense. It is the part of religion that emphasizes the process of examining stereotypes or misconceptions that amplify information that cannot be verified by sensory tools. It's just a prediction. When we applied these concepts to the analysis of life after death in Payasirachannasutra, it was found that the Verification points to the lack of evidence, not to be deadman and not to be the soul. The Falsification is a reference to rational probabilities, to refer probabilities in terms of place and time, to refer the probability of being alive and to referr the components of life.
