Those who perform spiritual practice do not wish to be reborn; instead, on the strength of their spiritual practice, wish for the Final Liberation. Conversely, patriots and devout followers of Dharma expect to be reborn again and again for serving Dharma. If we term the latter as one’s own wish, then expecting not to be reborn is also one’s own wish.
