Dont read this book unless you fully accept reincarnation
I bought this book having been recently studying Zen buddhism and found the focus of this book was getting ready for re-birth and being scared of how one was to be re-born.

This review is from: The Tantric Distinction: An Introduction to Tibetan Buddhism (Wisdom Intermediate Book. White Series) (Paperback)
I bought this book having been recently studying Zen buddhism and found the focus of this book was getting ready for re-birth and being scared of how one was to be re-born. As a student of philosophy I have not accepted the theory of re-birth although I find most Buddhist teachings to be practical and informative. I am not ready to accept that my mind will float off when I die and I may end up a "hell ghost" or a fly or some other insect and would say to anyone that unless they accept this theory, there is little to be taken from reading this book.
