Re: the great rebirth debate
The Right View of Reincarnation Continuation is happening now, because every day you continue to produce thoughts, words, and actions that carry your signature. We don’t have to wait until this body decomposes to continue. Most people think of reincarnation in terms of a permanent soul. This is popu...
