What is this? Some kind of childish thing to say?
Only children say this sort of thing in a conversation. The Buddhavacana clearly indicates directed rebirth.
"Thank you for proving my point". Oh dear.

I literally just did. But I suppose I can copy and paste the information from above so that it's down here too.Name the Sutta which says we can be reborn in a place or time or our choice.
In all the Sutta on Kamma the Buddha teaches which actions lead to which rebirths. If you couple this with the role that habit plays in rebirth and the role of the rebirth linking consciousness plus the notion that a stream-enterer has at most seven lifetimes before they achieve Nibanna, well... I think there is ample evidence in the Sutta and Abhidhamma for our ability to influence our next incarnation.alan wrote: ↑Fri Mar 23, 2018 2:13 am Aslo, I did not deny rebirth. But nowhere did the Buddha say he could determine past lives with anything other than basic needs. And nowhere did he say there is a way to find a specific rebirth.
You should look up the term "inferential error" before accusing me.

"It is because of this, seeing the danger of such super-powers (magic, miracles...), I dislike, reject and despise them" .

Well, read again the article of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. I think they are pretty clear on the matter.
First of all you have to clarify if you are referring to pre-Buddhist or post-Buddhist Bon. There are serious differences between the two.
But before that you have to understand that Bon was only recently recognised as a Buddhist tradition in Tibet. Up until the current Dalai Lama Bon was not considered Buddhism. Tibetan kings of old actively (and violently, many times) suppressed Bon practice in Tibet.
