Question Hi, I've been reading the Dali Lama Healing and Anger and he points out that reincarnation can be proven by the fact that non material aspects cannot bye produced by a material source, hence, reincarnation. However, non material sources are produced by material sources everyday. Dreams, memories, thoughts, are all produced by the brain- a material object. Please explain?
Answer Hi Marc,
Just a clarification here. A lot of people mistakenly regarded the Dalai Lama as the leader of all Buddhists, which he is not. The Dalai Lama is the spiritual/political leader of one of the sects of Buddhism in Tibet.
I am not able to comment on what he said. I may even disagree with his statements.
It is up to you to accept or reject his statements.
