Reincarnation: A Buddhist Perspective

Reincarnation: A Buddhist Perspective

Travis Hicks explores how the Buddha's teachings on reincarnation and samsara show up throughout the suttas, and what they ask of us in daily life.

Drawing on vivid similes from the Pali Canon, Travis looks at how these teachings are meant to spark samvega — a sense of spiritual urgency — alongside a deep recognition that in an endless cycle of rebirth, every being has at some point been our mother, our child, our closest friend. He doesn't ask anyone to accept reincarnation as fact, but invites an open mind about what it might mean for how we practice and how we treat the people and beings around us right now.
