Buddhism teaches that when a person dies they are reborn and that this process of death and rebirth will continue until Nirvana is attained.
Most religions believe that the core of the person, the real person, is the soul, a non-material and eternal entity that survives in the afterlife. Buddhism on the other hand says that the person is made up of thoughts, feelings and perceptions interacting with the body in a dynamic and constantly changing way. At death this stream of mental energy is re-established in a new body. Thus Buddhism is able to explain the continuity of the individual without recourse to the belief in an "eternal soul", an idea which contradicts the universal truth of impermanence.

Yes, I do. It's one of the few para-normal/religion concepts for which there's verified, irrefutable, empirical evidence. I'm not saying we come back as a bug, or animal based on how nice we've been! lol. The accounts are of us coming back as people everytime. Makes alot more sense than an all loving, all knowing, all powerful god sending us to eternal fire/torture/agony for simply not believing a fellow human who claims to be his spokesman. That's not the act of a loving being.
Reading, hearing all the accounts of re-incarnation, I'm left with the theory that if we don't rate high enough on whatever celestial "register" to gain admittance, we simply get sent back to try again. Maybe we did'nt learn everything we needed to the last time around???

Reincarnation is a great truth and it is true even if some people dont beleive in it.
all the sufferings, pains joys can only be explained with reincarnation. God does not throw a dice to decided who will be who in this birth. Our past birth's karma decide that

A better question would be: Is reincarnation real? I doubt it but I hope so. The idea appeals to me.

One single scripture from the Bible denies this.
(Ecclesiastes 9:5-6) For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. 6Â Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun.
They remain ' asleep' in death.

Nope. You see God made us unique, There will forever only be one of me. Now you can see it differently like why would God have to recycle souls? Where does He get the new ones. If my brother or sister gets a new soul, what made God give me a used one? Catch my drift?
