Mandatory suicide as a way of starting over.  Sounds funky.
I suppose that while I consider myself to have a great deal
of Zen nature, I am not a Buddhist.
(Bodhidharma went to China, ee-ie ee-ie oh).
But seriously, one possible model is that life is a burden
you must endure, and death is a rest you must earn.  You
haven't the right to end your life until your dharma is
fulfilled, whatever it may be.  I suppose my belief system
has evolved as a blending of NT Christianity, a little of the
Old-Testament-Butt-Kicking God of Wrath, and Zen.  That 
accounts for any anomalies.
