Comparative Religions 101 Guidelines
Welcome to Comp Religions, this is where the sights and sounds of the many world religions come together in a big World's Fair type atmosphere, without those delicious funnel cakes.
World Religions is a theist only type place, but that does not exclude certain religionists who practice non-theistic faiths ala Buddhism. If you are not sure, ask a moderator.
This is not a place where we argue the existence / non-existence of God.
And as usual, the forum rules apply.

I am a Muslim so I am not familiar with the nuances of Buddhism...but I think there may be variations even within Theravada on this subject?...Of the 3 broad categories, Mahayana, Therevada and Tibetan, It seems to me, Tibetan Buddhism has applied(?) ---as opposed to theory---about re-incarnation/incarnation---what with the Dalai Lama being a reincarnation......
...so...what explanations have you heard?
