The reincarnation theory based on the false self within the false experience is bound to be a falsehood. +
Dalai Lama said:~ Buddhism need not be the best religion, though it is the 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).
Origins in myth and legend.
Since the 11th century, it has been widely believed in Central Asian Buddhist countries that Avalokiteśvara, the bodhisattva of compassion, has a special relationship with the people of Tibet and intervenes in their fate by incarnating as benevolent rulers and teachers such as the Dalai Lamas.
The Book of Kadam, the main text of the Kadampa school from which the 1st Dalai Lama hailed, is said to have laid the foundation for the Tibetans' later identification of the Dalai Lamas as incarnations of Avalokiteśvara.[39][40][41] It traces the legend of the bodhisattva's incarnations as early Tibetan kings and emperors such as Songtsen Gampo and later as Dromtönpa (1004–1064).This lineage has been extrapolated by Tibetans up to and including the Dalai Lamas.
Thus, according to such sources, an informal line of succession of the present Dalai Lamas as incarnations of Avalokiteśvara stretches back much further than the 1st Dalai Lama, Gendun Drub; as many as sixty persons are enumerated as earlier incarnations of Avalokiteśvara and predecessors in the same lineage leading up to Gendun Drub.
These earlier incarnations include a mythology of 36 Indian personalities, ten early Tibetan kings and emperors, all said to be previous incarnations of Dromtönpa, and fourteen further Nepalese and Tibetan yogis and sages.[44] In fact, according to the "Birth to Exile" article on the 14th Dalai Lama's website, he is "the seventy-fourth in a lineage that can be traced back to a Brahmin boy who lived in the time of Buddha Shakyamuni."
Avalokiteśvara's "Dalai Lama master plan.
According to the 14th Dalai Lama, long ago, Avalokiteśvara had promised the Buddha to guide and defend the Tibetan people. In the late Middle Ages, his master plan to fulfill this promise was the stage-by-stage establishment of the Dalai Lama institution in Tibet.
First, Tsongkhapa established three great monasteries around Lhasa in the province of Ü before he died in 1419. The 1st Dalai Lama soon became Abbot of the greatest one, Drepung, and developed a large popular power base in Ü. He later extended this to cover Tsang, where he constructed a fourth great monastery, Tashi Lhunpo, at Shigatse.The 2nd studied there before returning to Lhasa,[where he became Abbot of Drepung.Having reactivated the 1st's large popular followings in Tsang and Ü,the 2nd then moved on to southern Tibet and gathered more followers there who helped him construct a new monastery, Chokorgyel.He established the method by which later Dalai Lama incarnations would be discovered through visions at the "oracle lake", Lhamo Lhatso.
The 3rd built on his predecessors' fame by becoming Abbot of the two great monasteries of Drepung and Sera.The Mongol leader Altan Khan, first Ming Shunyi King, hearing of his reputation, invited the 3rd to Mongolia where the 3rd converted the King and his followers to Buddhism, covering a vast tract of central Asia. This brought most of Mongolia into the Dalai Lama's sphere of influence, founding a spiritual empire that largely survives to the modern age. After being given the Mongolian name 'Dalai', he returned to Tibet to found the great monasteries of Lithang in Kham, eastern Tibet and Kumbum in Amdo, north-eastern Tibet.
The 4th was then born in Mongolia as the great-grandson of Altan Khan, cementing strong ties between Central Asia, the Dalai Lamas, the Gelugpa and Tibet. The 5th in the succession used the vast popular power base of devoted followers built up by his four predecessors. By 1642, with the strategy provided by his chagdzo (manager) Sonam Rapten and the military assistance of Khoshut chieftain Gushri Khan, the 'Great 5th' founded the Dalai Lamas' religious and political reign over Tibet that survived for over 300 years.
Remember this:~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”. In the early Vedic literature, there is no express mention of the doctrine of transmigration.
What is the use of discussing about the rebirth and reincarnation when the invisible Soul, the Self is ever birthless and deathless in the Atmic discussion?What is the use of discussing the rebirth and reincarnation when the world in which you are born is merely an illusion?What is the use of discussing about the next life and next world when the present life and the present world in which you exist is an illusion?Rebirth, reincarnation, next life and next world, heaven hell, sin, and karma are based on you.You are the false self (ego) within the false experience(waking). Thus, whatever is based on you is bound to be falsehood because you are born, live, and die in this illusory world, whereas the invisible and unborn Soul, the Self is birthless and deathless, because it is ever nondual. The rebirth and reincarnation theory is based on the waking entity (you orego).
The invisible and unborn Soul, the Self, has no birth because it is unborn and eternal.
When birth, life, and death are reality within the illusory universe or Maya, then rebirth and reincarnation is a reality within the illusory universe or Maya. Since man has immersed himself in believing the illusory universe as reality, he is unaware of the invisible and unborn Soul, the Self, which is hidden by the illusory universe or Maya.
People who are caught up in 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.
People who believe in reincarnation and rebirth theories are unaware that their belief is based on the waking entity (ego), which is the false self within the false experience.
The waking entity (ego) itself is the false self within the false experience, it means the present experience of birth, life, death, and the world is a falsehood.
Thus, whatever is seen, known, believed, and experienced as the waking entity is bound to be falsehood because the invisible Soul, the Self is birthless because it is formless. Therefore, the rebirth and reincarnation theory based on the false self is bound to be a falsehood.
Accepting rebirth and reincarnation theory as reality is accepting the false self (ego) as the real Self and false experience (waking state) as reality.
Self-realization is an impossibility if one accepts the present waking entity as the real Self because the Self is neither the waking entity nor the Self is a dream entity, but the Self is the invisible Soul, which witnesses the coming and going of the three states.
The three states are impermanent, but the soul or consciousness, which is the witness of the three states, is permanent and eternal.
In Atmic reality, the three states are one in essence. And that essence is consciousness. Therefore, there is no second thing that exists other than consciousness.
Consciousness (Soul) is second to none.
A deeper self-search reveals 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 (you) is not the Self, then whatever theories are based on the waking entity (ego) are imagined theories.
This imagined theory, based on the waking entity or ego is for those lower minds set who are incapable of grasping the ultimate truth or Brahman.
People who are caught up in the idea of reincarnation and rebirth theories are not qualified for Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana, or Atma Gnana, because they accept duality as reality. Birth implies duality, and duality is falsehood from the ultimate standpoint. ~ Santthosh Kumaar
