About this book
Join a rigorous scholar and Buddhist monk on a brisk tour of rebirth from ancient doctrine to contemporary debates in this paperback reissue of a reader favorite. In this fascinating book, professor and monk Bhikkhu Analayo illuminates a spectrum of views on rebirth, from ancient scriptures to contemporary research. In four brisk chapters, the book leads readers through the following points: The presentation of rebirth in the earliest Buddhist sources and the way it relates to core doctrine; The debates about rebirth throughout Buddhist history and up to modern times, including the role of confirmation bias in the evaluation of evidence; The current research on rebirth, including near-death experiences, past-life regression, and childhood recollection of previous lives; An examination of a particular case of xenoglossy, the ability to speak languages one has not been taught. As a very young boy, the Sri Lankan Dhammaruwan would chant Pali-language scriptures that he had not apparently learned in his present life.
