Question
Can you be reincarnated as a animal?
Dear Joe,
Zen does not have reincarnation as part of its philosophy. I think other sects like Theravada and Tibetan Buddhism may believe you can be reincarnated as an animal. You'd have to ask one of their teachers about it. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I can answer questions dealing with Taoist philosophy and Zen and not the historicity and religion of Buddhism and its different schools. I studied under Dr. Richard DeMartino and Masao Abe of the Kyoto School of Zen.
