Dalai Lama said: Buddhism need not be the best religion though it is most scientific and religion and inquisitive. But Buddhism has no answer to certain questions like the existence of Atama [Soul] and rebirth. Dali Lama said that as an individual he believes in rebirth as he had come across a few cases of rebirth. Modern science, Dalai Lama hoped would unearth the mystery behind the rebirth. (In DH –dec-212009-Gulbarga)

All the Buddhist theories of reincarnation are based on the birth entity, which is the false self within the illusory world. Buddhists who are caught up with the idea of reincarnation and rebirth theories are not qualified for acquiring the Advaitic or nondualistic wisdom. When Buddhist does not believe in the Soul but believe in reincarnation then what is it that reincarnates without the Soul?

Buddhist who believes in reincarnation and rebirth theories are unaware of the fact that all their theories and philosophy are egocentric therefore Buddhism has no answer to certain questions like the existence of Atama [Soul] and rebirth.

From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self the birth, life, death, rebirth, and reincarnation theory is part of the dualistic illusion.

Your body cannot reincarnate because it is insentient.

Even in Buddhism: ~ Buddhist teaching has itself become a kind of interactive and Self-evolving process, much like its idea of pratityasamutpada. However, the end goal is still Nirvana, which is an experience ultimately beyond all concepts and language, even beyond the Buddhist teachings. In the end, even the attachment to the Dharma, the Buddhist teaching, must be dropped like all other attachments. The tradition compares the teaching to a raft upon which one crosses a swift river to get to the other side; once one is on the far shore; there is no longer any need to carry the raft. The far shore is Nirvana, and it is also said that when one arrives, one can see quite clearly that there was never any river at all.

Buddhism and its relationship with Science are like that of water and wine, one cannot say there is no water in wine, but when you drink it, it would not be the water but wine... thus Einstein’s view is water in the wine because modern science does not believe in the matter but in this religion, everything is the matter only"

Emptiness is the nature of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Emptiness is the fullness of consciousness without the division of form, time, and space.

Remember:~

Whatever is seen, known, believed, and experienced as the waking entity is bound to be a falsehood, because the Soul, the ‘Self’ is birthless because it is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. Therefore, the rebirth and reincarnation theory based on the false self’ is bound to be a falsehood.

People who are caught up with the idea of reincarnation and rebirth theories are not qualified for Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana because they accepted duality as reality. Birth implies duality and the duality is falsehood from the ultimate standpoint.

Accepting rebirth and reincarnation theory as reality is accepting false ‘Self’ (waking entity or ego) as real ‘Self’ and false experience (waking) as reality.

Self-realization is an impossibility if one accepts the present waking entity as real ‘Self’ because the ‘Self’ is neither the waking entity nor the ‘Self’ is dream entity, but the ‘Self’ is formless Soul, which witnesses the coming and going of the three states without the physical apparatus.

This imagined theory based on the waking entity (ego) is for that lower mindset which is incapable of grasping the ultimate truth or Brahman.

Deeper Self-search reveals the facts that, the waking experience itself, is an illusion. It means the present experience of birth, life, death, and the world is an illusion.

Thus the reincarnation theory based on the false self within the false experience is bound to be a falsehood. When the waking entity is not the ‘Self’ then whatever theories are based on the waking entity imagined theory.

Remember:~

As one goes deeper investigation into the annals of the religious history he realizes the fact that Hinduism, as we know it today, is of recent origin.

Hinduism did not really achieve its status as a coherent, though still baffling, religious complex until after the establishment of British rule.

In discussing the Vedic religion it is also to be remembered that in the course of history, many non-Vedic elements entered into the Vedic religion. The Vedantic freely borrowed elements from the culture and the society around them.  Thus, Hinduism is full of non-Vedic elements. The Vedic religion or Santana Dharma is nothing to do with present-day Hinduism is full of diverse faith, belief, caste, and creed.

Reincarnation

In the early Vedic literature, there is no express mention of the doctrine of transmigration.

In the entire Rig Veda consisting of about 10,500 verses ― there is only one occasion where there is mention of a return to this world after death. What is implied here is that it cannot be taken as important teaching of the Rig Veda.

Reincarnation was not a Vedic belief. Belief in reincarnation which is central to Hinduism of today is not really attested to in the Vedas though they hint at life after death. The doctrine of transmigration as elaborated in Hinduism has no place in the Vedic hymns”.

It is in the Upanishads that it appears for the first time. The Rig Veda speaks of two paths for the Souls of the deceased, namely, the path of the God s (devayana) and the path of the fathers (pitriyana). Those who go by the former enjoy immortality and there is no return to physical life after that.

In fact, the Vedic man longed for this state of life. Whereas those who go by the latter path, unite with the fathers and then return to earth, after having enjoyed the fruits of his deeds.

People who are caught up with the idea of reincarnation and rebirth theories are not qualified for Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana because they accepted the duality as reality

People who believe in reincarnation and rebirth theories are unaware of the fact that their belief is based on the waking entity, which is the false self within the false experience. The waking entity itself is false Self within the false experience, it means the present experience of birth, life, death, and the world is a falsehood.

Whatever is seen, known, believed, and experienced as the waking entity is bound to be a falsehood, because, the Soul, the innermost Self is birthless because it is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. Therefore, the rebirth and reincarnation theory based on the false Self is bound to be a falsehood because the birth and death take place domain of the form, time, and space whereas the 'Self is birthless and deathless.

The one, which is born, lives, and dies in the world, is not the Self. When the world itself is an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form the consciousness then the birth and rebirth happening within the world is bound to be an illusion.

A deeper self-search reveals the fact that the waking experience itself is an illusion. It means the present experience of birth, life, death, and the world is an illusion. Thus, the reincarnation theory based on the false self within the false experience is bound to be a falsehood. When the waking entity is not the Self then whatever theories are based on the waking entity imagined theory.

This imagined theory based on the waking entity or ego is for the lower mindset who are incapable of grasping the ultimate truth or Brahman.

People who are caught up with the idea of reincarnation and rebirth theories are not qualified for Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana because they accepted the duality as reality. Birth implies duality, and the duality is falsehood from the ultimate standpoint.

On the standpoint of the Soul, the  Self: ~

There is no birth, No death, No world ~. This is the truth because the Soul, the Self is unborn eternal. 

From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, there is neither birth nor death nor the world. 

On the non-dualistic perspective, the present birth itself is an illusion, because, the Soul, the Self is birthless and deathless.

The one which born, lives, and dies in this world is not the Self. If the ‘Self’ is not the birth entity then whatever seen, known, believed and experience as a birth entity is bound to be an illusion. Thus, the reincarnation theory is based on the birth entity (you or ego), which is the false self within the false experience (waking).

From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, The world in which we exist is merely an illusion. If the world in which we exist is an illusion then the birth, life, death and rebirth, and reincarnation that happens within the illusory world is bound to be an illusion.

Accepting rebirth and reincarnation theory as reality is accepting false Self (ego) as real Self and false experience (waking) as reality. Avatar takes place within the dualistic illusion or Maya.

Self-realization is impossible if one accepts the present waking entity as the real Self because the Self is neither the waking entity nor the Self is the dream entity, but the Self is formless Soul, which witnesses the coming and going of the three states. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
